While he’s still a defensive disruptor, the now-healthy point guard used a stint in G League this season to hone his playmaking and facilitating, while dialing in on the mechanics of his shooting stroke.
And between losing Conley and NAW, and seeing Collin Sexton sidelined by a nagging hamstring injury, Utah was just looking for an extra guy capable of playing some minutes as a primary ball-handler behind de facto starter Talen Horton-Tucker.In the six games he’s played with the Jazz, he is averaging 12.6 points, 4.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and only 1.3 turnovers in 23.3 minutes per game. The 54.2% he’s shooting from the field and his 43.
Rather than bemoan having gone from former lottery pick to treading water in the NBA’s feeder league, the point guard instead used his time there to dig in and further develop. “I think everybody [has] got to see Kris’s competitiveness,” Hardy said. “He’s got a real fire to him when he plays, and he has the ability to kind of change the tempo of the game.”
“That’s my guy,” said Dunn. “… Me and Lauri talk each and every day, about the way he plays, how the team plays, what certain guys like to do. Lauri is very knowledgeable and I like to pick his brain. And off the court, he helps me with a lot of things, too. It’s like, going into a new school and you walk in and you see that that old friend that you’ve seen in [previous classes] — you’re gonna sit right next to him and try to get the lay of the land.”“Yeah, I mean, great dude.
In Chicago, he had a severe MCL sprain in his right knee that necessitated three months of bed rest. Following the resumption of the 2020 season after the COVID-19 pandemic hiatus, Dunn became a free agent, signed with the Hawks, and soon found his ankle and back hurting.
