Scouting Report
Strengths
Plays well off of teammates, dribble penetration from guards allows him to cut from the weakside and finish plays at the rim
Runs the floor well in transition, provides vertical spacing from his elite athleticism (finished with 37 dunks this past season)
Elite finisher at the rim
Because he is a liability offensively due to his lack of shot creation and poor outside shooting, he is unguarded on most possessions in the halfcourt, but he still makes himself available with his positioning away from the ball and timing on his cuts
Versatile on ball defender, high level weak side rim protector, elite defender in isolation,
Teams shoot very low percentages against Dunn in post ups, isolations, and as the PnR ball handler
Coming Soon...
Weaknesses
Does not space the floor due to poor outside shooting and also struggles to convert at the charity stripe
Does not feel comfortable putting the ball on the floor when driving to the rim
Some possessions he lacks aggression with the ball, at times does not even face up and look at the rim
Needs to improve playmaking/distributing off the dribble (has a low assist rate)
Coming Soon...
Summary
Dunn showcased the ability to move well off the ball, run the floor well in transition, and provide vertical spacing due to his unique athleticism. His high level finishing around the rim allowed for him to provide some type of value on the offensive end. His off ball movement and timing on cuts as well as his positioning away from the ball gives him opportunities to score in the half court. Dunn is a high level defender with a nonstop motor and skill set that gives him the ability to cover multiple positions and prevent points while also forcing tough, contested shots. His versatility defensively allows for Dunn to guard the ball handler in PnRs but also switch on bigs and defend in the low post too. His main weakness is his overall jumper. His poor outside shooting left him unguarded in the half court and left as an afterthought at times. His handle also needs to improve when driving to the basket and in the open floor. On some possessions, Dunn lacks aggression with the ball, sometimes not even facing up to look at the rim. Improvements on his outside shot and overall handle will help create more opportunities offensively in the half court.
