2 star recruit. Transfers in from Cleveland state. Has given everything he has and has been a huge part of pretty much all of our biggest games.
Due to #0 shrinking in big moments and #30 always in foul trouble we have no choice but to defer to Dunn in big spots. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. But he’s given us a lot more than I expected he would.
Calling him a “street baller” is ridiculous. He does everything he can to help the team win and a lot of the times has no choice but to freestyle out there because no one else can create anything. Honestly the disrespect is maddening to me but I get it, a lot of losses piling, a lot of frustration, but I’m glad we have Dunn[/quote]
I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm glad we have Dunn as well. He's a good player with a role on a team that plays our style. He's just not an all-BE level PG or SG. That's not a knock, nor is it disrespectful. It's just the truth.[/quote]
Would you have projected Dwight Hardy as an all big east level player after his Jr year? His Jr year stats per 40 minutes (not that stats are everything) are not that far off from Dunn's. Just sayin'[/quote]
I been trying not to post, but i been reading this thread and want to say one thing.
Dunn is probably the best player on the team for 38 minutes but for the final 2minutes i want him on the bench
Last 2 possessions he milks the clock then drives 1 on 3, under hands the ball off the back board and never hits the rim, instead of playi g super hero why not pass it to someone open, THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE FREAKING OPEN, SOMEWHERE ON THE FREAKING COURT.
Then the next possession he dribbles it off his knee.
We score just once on those two possessions we win, so while he isn't why we lost, he's a big part of it.
No 9ne can dispute that.[/quote]
You should have tried harder.[/quote]
Exhibit A (or P or Q..) for kicking the kid while he’s down. Along with comments like “the kid can’t shoot or dribble”, etc.[/quote]
lol I never said he can't dribble or shoot, trying to words in my mouth?
Here's what I said: "Last 2 possessions he milks the clock then drives 1 on 3, under hands the ball off the back board and never hits the rim, instead of playi g super hero why not pass it to someone open, THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE FREAKING OPEN, SOMEWHERE ON THE FREAKING COURT.

Look at the final minute of the gtown game if you don't believe me.
Yes, it really happened. It's reality, I'm not making this stuff up.
And one other thing i said:
"Dunn is probably the best player on the team for 38 minutes"
If he couldn't dribble or shoot, I don't think I'd say that, Monte.[/quote]
It wasn't you that I was referencing with the "can't shoot or dribble..." comment. . I should have been clearer. I too would have much preferred that he drove and dished on the last play, since I'm sure that GT was focusing on him. Who knows, maybe that's what the plan was before he lost the ball. . But lets face facts, the odds of him scoring on a drive are pretty good. Agree that he hasn't had much luck at the end of games, and screwed up the 2nd to last possession, but I still want the ball in his hands right there. And apparently so does CMA. Don't see how you can blame Dunn and absolve CMA.[/quote]
"but I still want the ball in his hands right there. And apparently so does CMA."
Maybe that's why cma was fired at Arkansas? He goes to one guy to often, and most of the results aren't good?
I mean why keep going to Dunn there, even others here said,it's the same thing with Dunn, charging into a wall and bad things happen.
I know you can't judge cma now, but I want to see his end of game plays in say 2 seasons from now.
