9. Kris Dunn

Position: Point Guard
Age: 23
Experience: 1st Season
2016-17 Season Averages: 17.1 MPG, 3.8 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.3 3PM

Kris Dunn put together a better rookie campaign than critics give him credit for. Shooting only 28 percent on threes and 61 percent from the charity strike did not help his case though.

If he can improve on shooting during the offseason he will be in the running for a heavily increased role. His defense was excellent all season long. Defense is something players have to want to do themselves. Dunn has the physical ability to make life challenging for opposing guards.

Overall, his stats were acceptable for a rookie point guard who was asked to play 17.1 minutes a game.

He racked up more points and rebounds than Tyus Jones. Combine that with being a better defender and Dunn just gets the edge over Jones at the ninth spot.
