It's Official: Kris Dunn Will Return To PC...!

[gosports1]

i wont believe it until deadline to declare has come and gone

Apparently Dunn has been in steady contact with Nigel Williams-Goss. If we could pull in a McD's All-American to replace a McD's All-American that would be a dream.

Wojo from Yahoo is a very reliable source i doubt he would tweet it if it wasn't true. He did tweet Rysheed Jordan would be back a couple weeks ago and that came true.

I'd still be real surprised if he stays given his injury history and the fact he won't move up all that much.

Not just my opinion...

It’s a risky move for Dunn, who has twice had seasons ruined as a result of injuries to his right shoulder. He’s currently projected as the No. 13 pick in the 2015 draft, according to Draft Express, and it’s hard to imagine that he would really improve his draft position much more if he was to return to school. Dunn is a terrific playmaker and an excellent defender, but he turns the ball over far too much and has struggled to consistently be a threat as a perimeter shooter.

So sorry that you don't like what I said but I'm not alone. For one his history with injuries is a major red flag.

[FriarJ]

would that not be a flag for NBA teams as well? Maybe 1 more injury free year does improve his stock. Your comment makes no sense, when combined with he won't improve his stock with another year comment.

[gosports1]

well if he improved his perimeter shooting and turned the ball over less wouldnt that improve his projected draft pick?

My personal opinion (and that of some other mock drafts) is he wouldn't go in the lottery this year. He obviously would be a first round pick, which is tough to turn down as well.

Depends how much. The problem isn't as much his turnovers or jumper as it is his age that's going to prevent him from being a lot higher than what he is right now next season. He'll be 22 in next year's draft. Hardly ancient, but even the best guys at his age have a hard time cracking the top 10 because so much of the draft is based on potential, and an extra year in college saps away at that. Jerian Grant is an All-American and a year older and is projected to be in the same spot as what Dunn is right now. Dunn's a better athlete, but Grant is slightly taller and more skilled. Just my opinion.

It's obviously great news for Providence and the Big East that it's most electrifying player is coming back, and IMO he should have been the stand alone MVP last season. If he's coming back, I'd have to think it's because he wants a degree, which is great. I just think to really improve his stock from where it's at right now he's going to have to be a transcendent player in college basketball next year.
