[quote="Enright" post=375744]My two cents on Dunn is this. He seems to try too hard to get his shot. I don't mean at the end of games when the entire SJU team doesn't seem to have any semblance of control game after game but throughout his game.
He plays very hard but takes so many off balance contested shots that he will never shoot a decent percentage. His shooting stroke taking foul shots is perfect and that usually indicates a player of his size will be a decent outsize shooter. If the coaching staff could get him to stop forcing shots I think his entire offensive game would improve.[/quote]
Could be. He does have decent form from the outside so you'd think there was room for improvement there. If he'd slowly been improving his outside shot over the years I'd be a bit more optimistic about his chances of suddenly becoming a 35-40% shooter from outside. But the reality is that he's been a 25% shooter from deep for nearly 3 full seasons. For me to think he's going to spend the off season working so hard on his shooting that he's going to take his game to an all BE level next season requires me to believe that he hasn't been working on his outside shooting much at all the past 4 years or that he's suddenly going to wake up one morning and be Bootsy Thornton from beyond the arc.
The former doesn't matchup with the kids reputation as a competitor, and later requires divine intervention.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that Mote is right, but if I'm a betting man...
