Kris Dunn is known as one of the NBA's biggest busts in recent memory. His recent performance has made a lot of people eat their words. Today we cover the unreal story of Kris Dunn
Kris Dunn was 2 years ahead of me at New London HS in CT. The coach who took care of Kris periodically(Tommy Major) is a family friend of mine. It felt like we as a city gathered around him as our star. Hate to see him not flourishing, but happy to see him still in the league.
@Alex B unfortunately only 22 games. Hope it'd enough to get him a chance. Would love to see him in GS behind Gary Payton. He'd be a good addition if GP gets hurt
Watched him against the thunder at the end of the season, and he had a great game against us.. one of my favorite players from that class, glad to see him back in the league
I was happy when he came to Chicago, I was really high on him and thought he’d be our long term point guard. I feel like he showed flashes of how good he could be, but too many obstacles came his way that negated any chances of consistency.
thanks for this one, swish. i don't live near providence, so only heard about him during the 2016 draft. i read the SI story on his upbringing which was heartbreaking....such an incredible story of love, loss and perseverance. don't matter if he's in the NBA or LA fitness. i'm a kris dunn fan forever.
He wasn’t that bad, he was one of the few players that didn’t really get a fair shot and wasn’t just lazy. Anybody that can average 2 steals a game deserves a chance more than he got for being a “bad offensive player”
PC fan here, Dunn was a campus legend indeed and I wanted the Celtics to take him this year not gonna lie. Sad to see where his career went but he is a legend forever in RI!!!!
It wasnt a surprise how he ended the season in Utah, if anything it highlights what I've been saying for years: where you go and who your coach is impacts your development far more than people care to admit. And as much as fans don't like it, not all development arcs are the same. Some guys take a few years to get to the starting line, much less start to win the metaphorical race. He always had this in his game but he needed time to develop and the right situation. Chicago and that coach was not that combination (and the wolves are the wolves 😮💨). Ofc he's also had some really crappy injury luck as you noted and that also hurts development.
you gotta do a video on jeremy lin. so many interesting things about his career. But the worst thing. was how he was basically the best g league player when he played a few years back after his year in china, and he was the only scorer in the top 10 to not get a chance on an nba roster. All things point to his race being a factor, the guy was like 31 or 32 averaging 18 6 and 5 on 50.6% 42.6% 88 %. Great veteran leadership, been apart of a championship team as well. Valuable things to have but nobody gave him a chance. Not even the warriors who's g league team he played for. They had some scrubs on the end of that 2020-2021 roster even though they won it all
Good news... Kris is back in the NBA and a possible starting PG for the Utah Jazz! What a player! He is a tremendous fighter, person, and leader on this team. The Jazz and Dunn may just work out to be a legendary story!
JJ Reddick is not remotely worth a 2023 Kris Dunn. That take was utterly disrespectful. As the title to the video, which should've state "How GOOD is Kris Dunn actually?"
He’ll catch on, bargain reprisal player. Excellent defensive spark plug whose looking better on offense. Perfect third guard who can step up or offer a different look.
Capital City GoGo is paying homage to the GoGo music which was founded and popularized in the dmv (Dc, Maryland, Virginia) area. Many ppl outside da area as urself didn’t even know it was a genre of music
As with most team sports your development is greatly affected for good or bad depending on how they treat you and how good the coaches are. Sometimes you have to move to a lesser team to get the best out of you.
Growing up near Providence I went to a good amount of Friars games when Kris was there and I thought he’d be a real solid player but he just got really unlucky during his career..it’s awesome seeing him start to turn his career around
I thought he was going to suffer from Trey Burke disease, an awesome college PG who didnt really standout in an one facet of the NBA game. Sometimes players like that turn into a Kyle Lowry, most end up like Trey Burke.
My favorite NBA player, I'm calling it now Kris Dunn makes an NBA all defensive team next season and land's a major contract worth 45 to 80 million .......Mark my words
Only if he gets fully healthy and he's in the right situation imo he needs to go to a playoff team on a cheaper deal a gamble like that would set him up for life especially if he is a locker room presence
@ollytropics1735 TBH he has already made over 30 million as a pro from being a top five pick and his deal from Atlanta a few years ago plus his new multi year deal with Utah I actually believe Utah and coach Hardy system is the perfect opportunity for KD to finish developing or if not then with the Miami Heat🔥
I watched every damn bulls game Fred hoiberg was fantastic as a coach he knew how to develop players his team was just always hurt Lauri flourished under him everyone did remember when he almost beat that Boston team? I always knew Lauri would be good because of how he played under hoiberg he was succeeded by jim boylen who was easily the worst coach in the league he made everyone look awful and ruined what Fred was creating. Kris was putting it together. before he face planted and messed up his teeth and then the team fell apart they were going toe to toe against golden state that game. I always loved watching him play im happy he’s doing alright I would not be surprised if he was one of those players he made a few all star games later into his career
I watched him demolish my highschool team my senior year 🤣😭 he shrugged off a foul and windmilled it after and got a technical foul lmfao greatest dunk I've seen in person 💀

He averaged 13.1 points , 4.5 rebounds, and 5.6 assists this season he is starting to develop.

He played well against us (OKC) and I was surprised
@@alexb6170 starting to develop at 29 years old??
@@engr.reyes3hopefully he'll have a career like Kyle Lowry who's a late bloomer
Man, Kris Dunn has been so good on the Utah Jazz, that's coming from someone who watched most of his games here. Good rotational player!
Watched him against the thunder at the end of the season, and he had a great game against us.. one of my favorite players from that class, glad to see him back in the league
Dude plays defense and hustles hope he stays on a team
People don’t realize that a rotational player that can play defense will always be needed. He’s going to have a long career
"Capital City Go Go" is the equivalent of " New Orleans Jazz" from back in the day. Its actually a perfect name for a team in D.C.
I was happy when he came to Chicago, I was really high on him and thought he’d be our long term point guard. I feel like he showed flashes of how good he could be, but too many obstacles came his way that negated any chances of consistency.
facts
What a story, I wish him nothing but success

He’s gon win a championship with the Jazz and he’ll have his name up there watch
Kinda nice being positive sometimes
Don’t ever ask a women her age , a man how much money he has and why LOW cheated on his girl with FOUR WOMEN
It looks like u have a fetish for negativity indeed
Great content as always man, keep up the good work.
if kris dunn, frank ntilikina and a dozen other players shot 37%+ from 3 their careers would be completely different lol
Go Go is a style of club music that's popular in D.C, so that's actually kind of a cool name for their G-League team
Yea it’s actually one of the better team names in the context of regional relevance.
Exactly!
The more ya know

Yes, thats really true isnt it. Will Hardy may be developing as one of the top coaches in our league

Nobody cares about Jerry Kim
I remember this man cooking me on the rookie showcase on 2k lol. Big respect to Kris.
Now you cant even dribble in front of him on 2k23 hes ripping thay everytime on HOF
Kris dunn has been a fantastic player for the Jazz i am really glad Will Hardy understands his game
Good news...

Isn’t he low key having a comeback last season with the Jazz?
watch the whole video clown
Yeah he is I’m a jazz fan it’s actually a really cool story
I loved watching him in college. It’s sad seeing a guy you had such high hopes for to end up a bust. Still rooting for him
JJ Reddick is not remotely worth a 2023 Kris Dunn.
That take was utterly disrespectful.
As the title to the video, which should've state "How GOOD is Kris Dunn actually?"
Exactly. Yet hes getting offended in the comments
So she literally took the kids and left the dad to go be a poor criminal that can’t watch her kids, that’s terrible and there’s too many ones like it
The Wolves are a terrible team with which to start a career. If Dunn was drafted by s competent franchise, things might have gone much better for him.
16 Pts in 15 mins tonight against the clippers! I know its preseason but he took over in the 4th and really operated well in that rotation.
He's alright he was averaging
13 Points 4 Rebounds 6 Assists and 2 Steals before injuries
Utah Jazz Kris Dunn highlights he still ballin
He's actually a good player. Dude is a legit backup PG
Very well made video
He was nice on Chicago before he got injured they need to fire they whole medical staff
They had 2 atrocious head coaches at the time too
Kris Dunn is not out of the NBA, he have just signed multi-year contract with the Utah Jazz last March 14 this year.
Yes he talks about it in the video
great video
Kris Dunn a hooper

Guess I need me a go go jersey now
I forgot he was in the NBA 😂😂
he did really good for utah last season
As with most team sports your development is greatly affected for good or bad depending on how they treat you and how good the coaches are. Sometimes you have to move to a lesser team to get the best out of you.
As a creighton fan i watch a lot of big east remember him well and saw him play in person at least once
I still believe in u Kris 😢
His father is a friend of mine. His mother didn't contact John. It was one of their cousins or something like that
Capital City Gogo is named after a style of music that originated in the DC area. I might sound dumb to you but to locals it's a pretty great name.
LONG LIVE DEFENSIVE POINT GUARDS
Really like Kris Dunn. I’m a Blazers fan and wanted them to resign him. He definitely was a plus and got even better with the Jazz
Growing up near Providence I went to a good amount of Friars games when Kris was there and I thought he’d be a real solid player but he just got really unlucky during his career..it’s awesome seeing him start to turn his career around
Dunn is savage for that hot sauce bottle attack on a grown man
was he not the backup for utah this year or am i tripping
hes lowkey solid now tho
He wasn’t bad in Chicago just too indecisive offensively and inconsistent with the 3 ball
Rooting for him
still a great defender
2:45 whats the beat called
He’s playing well for Utah
He is officially there long-term, starting PG for the foreseeable future his journey is unprecedented 🦍
I thought he was going to suffer from Trey Burke disease, an awesome college PG who didnt really standout in an one facet of the NBA game.
Sometimes players like that turn into a Kyle Lowry, most end up like Trey Burke.
Kris Dunn is a victim of circumstance
I'd like to see him back on the bulls tbh
I thought he was then I remembered that's coby white lol
It’s funny, all his fellow rookies picked him to be the best player of his draft class.
Everyone wanna see him succeed
I thought he could take Rubio's spot on the wolves but nah
Swish County can you cover How Bad Alex Len is Actually?
He was solid his 1st few years actually.
@@timboslice8559 I don't remember but didn't he averaged 20 and 10?

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
