Why should the Pelicans choose Kris Dunn, junior, Providence?
Preston (@PelicanBriefNBA): They shouldn’t. Kris Dunn has elite athleticism to go with his incredible wingspan and foot speed. He has all the potential to be a great player, and could even become an all star type player.
But for every one of Dunn’s enticing abilities, comes grave concerns.
With all his flash can at times come little substance. Dunn is reckless in his aggressiveness, often misfiring on no look passes, mishandling the ball in transitions, and plunging into defenders causing charges and turnovers.
