So far this season, Kris Dunn, a former lottery pick, has had the best start to a year than ever before. Head coach Tyronn Lue is utilizing him perfectly, and although it took many years for Dunn’s potential to be maximized, it is better late than never, as he is making an early case for Sixth Man of the Year.
Furthermore, many fans want to see Dunn start with James Harden. The success rate simply seems higher with these two guards leading the backcourt, but Lue sees something different with Bradley Beal.
Even in Beal’s first missed contest of the year, Dunn did not start; Bogdan Bogdanovic did.
