Key Strengths

Kris Dunn has everything you look for in both a modern and traditional point guard. His physical gifts are prototypical, if not elite, and his combination of court vision and defensive prowess are a throwback to the standards of old.

It’s very rare that a player has the size and two-way potential that Dunn so clearly possesses.

Dunn stands at 6’4″ and 205 pounds with a 6’9.5″ wingspan—a build most commonly found amongst shooting guards. He’s a very fluid athlete who can play above the rim and make a living in transition.

Physically, you’d have a tough time building a better point guard in a video game.

Dunn is also an elite facilitator, having ranked No. 5 in the country in assist rate during the 2015-16 season, and No. 1 in the nation in 2014-15. Dunn also cracked the Top 10 in steal percentage in both of those seasons—an illustration of his All-Defensive Team potential.

Dunn can defend multiple positions, dominate the passing lanes, facilitate an offense, and shoot with enough consistency to keep the opposition honest. The complete package.
