2016 NBA Draft: Top 10 Safest Prospects

3. Kris Dunn, Providence Friars

Position: Point Guard
Age: 22 (3/18/1994)
Height, Weight, Wingspan: 6’4.25″, 205 pounds, 6’9.5″

There’s a legitimate possibility that Kris Dunn becomes nothing more than just a solid player. He checks all of the boxes for a prototypical point guard, but even then, there’s no guaranteeing that stardom is truly in his future.

The one thing that one can comfortably say about Dunn, however, is that he’s going to be a solid player.

Dunn is a 6’4″ and 205-pound point guard with a near 6’10” wingspan and above-average athleticism. He’s widely regarded as the best facilitator and ball-hawk in this draft class, and has the obvious tools to be an elite on-ball defender.

Coupled with a respectable jump shot, NBA-caliber handles, and a strong presence on the boards, Dunn has everything a point guard needs in order to be successful.

Every prospect has bust potential, but Dunn has the tools to, at the very least, be a starting-caliber player. He’s essentially a 6’4″ Darren Collison in the sense that he does everything well, can play in the half court and transition, and doesn’t shy away from contact on either end.

Dunn has genuine star potential, but even if he fails to live up to it, he’ll have an opportunity to start in the NBA for years to come.
