77. "Insanely good on defense, insanely bad on offense." In response to In response to 24
If Clingan's the best defender in the class, Dunn's the best playoff defender. One of the best wing defenders in the last few drafts. And I expect that to translate to the NBA.
But he isn't good at anything on offense. He plays hard, he grabs offensive boards... but the shot is really bad, he doesn't create for others, can't create for himself. How will he stay on the floor?
I honestly think some playoff team *has* to take him first round, because I believe he's good enough to be an impact wing defender Day 1... but because he's a total liability on offense, it's an obvious gamble. If he could even be, like, a 33% from 3, 68% from FT guy, he's an impact player. I don't know whether to bet on it or not. But at this point in the draft, he's got the upside as a playoff impact player that most remaining prospects lack.
