Remembering Kris Dunn’s Barclays Breakout

Dunn was in his third season at Providence, but missed virtually all of the year prior after undergoing shoulder surgery, while his freshman season didn’t start until December as he returned from his first shoulder surgery that summer.

We saw glimpses of what Dunn could become in those abbreviated first two years, but on that December night in Brooklyn — Providence’s 13th game of the year — we saw Dunn’s full arsenal on display in a nationally televised game against Miami.

He never looked back.

It’s easy to forget now, but Dunn was not seen as a sure thing by any stretch after two injury plagued seasons — nor were the Friars.
