Kris Dunn Is THE Floor General

In this video we discuss the recent success of Kris Dunn after being moved from reserve minutes into the starting point guard role. He doesn't have the best shot efficiency in the role but his playmaking and defensive upside on the team are second to none and he remains to be seen as the glue and catalyst to this teams recent successful run.

Dunn’s story is one of lottery potential, adversity, overcoming said adversities, being rewarded for your hard work and finally finding your place.The joy Dunn is now expressing playing the game of basketball comes from appreciating every opportunity because it can vanish in a flash. Its very humbling and inspirational. Any rookie would do well to listen and learn.
I say keep Dunn EVEN if Ball or Jones becomes available.

[coraltarr]

Mad respect for him!
He fought his way back and that’s hard to do in the nba/g league

[mateuszzdyb]

happy that you mentioned the big part of Kris's value- that he coach and mentor kyeonte. and all that for just 2 millions a year. bargain of the year in the whole NBA, only matched by what value K. Oubre brings to the 76ers

[robbydad]

Yes I’ve noticed that about Dunn’s game. He’s a very good defender and ball handler/distributor.

[glennbullock]

Yea, he pressed WAAAAYYYY too hard to start the year, but has settled down and is playing awesome. I'm so glad THT is out.

[stevenkirsch]

Dunn can shoot and score as evidenced by his numbers last season. He's sacrificing his offense for the team. He's only shooting 3-4 times a game

[spectartacus]

Dunn being Keyonte's mentor has already been paying dividends. Keyonte has a long way to go on the defensive end, but it will just take time to mature mentally and physically. Dunn is a nice vet for any team to have, so he's certainly tradeable. I just don't see him bringing back more than a late 2nd round pick. In the long run, it's probably better to keep him as a mentor and locker room presence. He's still only 29 years old.

[TysonUt]

Another thing I love about Dunn, is his bail outs, he’ll drive and kick out so perfect and get someone open every time

And you can’t leave him open for that floater

[terrillmel]

You're doing an amazing job. Great analysis.

[MattNEuem]

All really good points. IMO you are spot on with everything you’re saying!

[CFE-DISC]

Thanks for this video, during the beginning of the season when Utah played so bad, I remember saying to myself that they needed to break the amont of talents/scorers on the backcourt, they could't play with THT and JC in the starting lineup. They needed someone able to, what we call in France "work in the shadow" beside a strong scorer like Sexton for instance. And the only guy in the roster was Dunn, and guess what, it was the right move. I'm happy to see Hardy adapte himself with some strong decisions, so credit to him.

[frictionhitch]

you got that NPR voice. Nothing against David Locke but he has that Jurassic Park voice.

[JOSEPHSANTANA-ejmt]

Hes with my babymama about to pull up to Utah

[coraltarr]

Also great job and keep up the awesome content

[konzza]

Yeeeeahh!

I have been talking down Jazz as a team. Now as the team is on the best form out of any team from stacked west, on par with Clippers and OKC, now is time to laugh hard for me downplaying the teams potential 😂

It was about time Clarkson was reverted back to 6:th man role for the benefit of the team.

I never could had imagined having Collins to play center, and getting more minutes for Dunn, would had been THE ANSWER to unlock the team.

The turnaround in performance is not short of a small miracle. The biggest individual factor probably being dropping Clarkson out of starting 5.

Utah is close knit bunch without egos and talking down their team mates. We still need to understand the point behind Lauri's press conference, stating how they learned to play together as a team, pass the ball and get eveeryone involved as the key to their recently found success. It's not just purely co-incedential with Clarkson dropped to second unit, and not doing his solo-act to hinder the starting 5.

[foxandwolfden]

I'm happy to see Dunn's resurgence. I had him on my 2K Spurs team a couple seasons back. I think they'll re-up him to keep that positive in-game effect he has and locker room presence on KG. It's nice to see his 3PT shooting improve.

[finnishview]

Agree 100%. And when remember what happened in bulls when he and Lauri was there, im happy see him success. Bulls was horrible place to start they basketball career, wasted time for both players. Altou it was 2nd year for Dunn when he went there but it was horror show in bulls. Everyone who came out of that deserve all respect and success possible. And he was out of the league too, his path has been really hard and he surely appreciate his chance to play jazz basketball. Team with very good coach, first time for him. So, good for him and good for jazz.

[thwwoodcraft]

Nice analysis. Earned a like & sub

[snoopyj]

Regardless of where he is in the lineup, Dunn is proving to be a perfect veteran to help these younger guards slow things down.

Keyonte and Sexton are more offensive oriented guards, but Dunn has clearly been an influence for both of them on the defensive and playmaking side of it all.

[melvinpowelljr.]

The Jazz are about to sign Kris Dunn to a 3 to 4 year deal this off-season and his numbers are going to continue to increase with that added security from fully knowing that he is truly wanted by the Utah Jazz organization for years to come to finish out his prime peaking at 34 /35 years old 🦍
