19-5-5 for Dunn on 9-11 shooting tonight as well.

He has great games like these, often follows them up with duds as well, but the opportunity is clearly letting him do more than he was able to with you guys. His handle is still loose imo but he's slowed down and isn't losing the ball as much, still too many careless TO's, and I'm not sure how sustainable his shooting is, but he's improving.

Some days Bulls fans just want to trade him, others they think he's the future at PG. I think he'll be a flawed player but a starter or at minimum high level backup, based on his development. Him and Lavine in the backcourt should be fun once the latter returns.

I saw our good buddy Chase Budinger at the bar last night. He looks good. Definitely smaller than I expected. He was listed at 6'7" so I figured we'd be about the same height, but I looked down on him a bit. There were a few okay looking girls who seemed to know who he was and asked for a selfie.

He did last season for sure I know. There are reports of him being in for workouts with NBA teams before this season, but I don't see anything about him playing somewhere this season. He could have just had a week off and come home on vacation too.

Anyone see how many minutes Jazz starters played that last game?
That team is coming together. they may have won the lottery and found a Heyward replacement that’s better than Heyward. Time shall tell. I’d take Mitchell over KAT right now the way both are playing.

Fans had no patience with him. He wasn't Ricky, so he sucked.

He was awful and Thibs gave him every oppurtunity he could get. Despite the awful perfomances game after game.

I talk against me too, loved the Dunn pick.

You guys have to understand when a coach is coaching to win, it’s tougher to lookgood then when you can basically play with the freedom of a pick up game.


Good for kris but he’s playig with zero expectations which is easy. Hopefully he continues this play and ends up in a winning situation.

. I don’t want to be partners with Glen [Taylor], and I wouldn’t want to be partners with Glen in Minnesota,” he said. “I would love to be part of a group that buys him out and kind of removes him and go forward.”


Man the hate is strong between kg and Taylor. The dream of him coming in and working with Kat are all but dead.

When you evaluate a prospect you have to see his tools, not his stats.
Dunn has all the tools, he just needed to get some confidence.
It was a very big mistake with him and I think Thibs didn't do a good with him.
Hoiberg works with Dunn and we are starting to see his real self this year.
We could had a pg for a decade but the 95% of the Wolves fans thought that he is a bust and were happy that we traded that bust.
As I said this is the result of judging projects and players based on stats and not based on tools and potential.
We can continue now with Teague who is payed 18 millions and makes nobody involved in the games.

This is somewhat true. It was so ridiculous hearing people say he should start over Rubio the first half of the year, for example. But Dunn really grew on me throughout the year. He made so many gritty, tough plays and that defense was top notch.

He's a very good defensive player, but he's practically unplayable on the offensive side of the ball. That is not good for a point guard who turns 24 this season. I hope he can get his career going and perhaps eek out a Marcus Smart/Tony Allen type of career but I don't think there's upside offensively.

He scored 20 points on 24 shots.
Crazy to think a limited offense player like him gets that amount of shots.
