FWIW there is another Providence PG projected to go mid-first round this year in Kris Dunn. He actually completed the first triple double(27-pts/13-boards/11-dimes/3-steals) ([url[/MEDIA[/MEDIA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8pyH-XEYXc[/url]) in Big East League Play in roughly 10 years.
He was a Mcdonalds AA two years ago rated #2 nationally at PG behind Marcus Smart(#3 was Paige from UNC). Big time athlete/prospect with all the tools. Skilled, fast, big(6'3), long(6'8 wingspan) with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson court vision. Really has been starting to draw the Westbrook and Wall comparisons during his breakout play the last month. Would have been lottery pick last year if he didn't tear labrum in 1st exhibition game. Him and Cotton would have formed best backcourt in country and been a top 10-15 team all year. He's currently the only player in the country to average over at least 15 points, 7 assists, and 2.5 steals. There have been only something like 2-3 players in the past 30 years in all of college basketball to post those numbers over the course of any one season.
this following excerpt from an early Febuary article by Sam Vecenie og CBS Sports
It's not just pure statistical accumulation that makes Dunn an NBA prospect though. His physical profile is extemely intriguing at 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-8 wingspan, meaning he has pretty prototypical size for the point guard position in the NBA. His lightning-quick first step and excellent ball-handling ability allows him to get penetration basically at will on the college level, and that should be able to translate to the NBA level. Once he's in the lane, he has a pretty good pull-up game that includes a nice litttle floater as well as the ability to knock down a midrange shot from 10 feet, plus has the ability to explode to the rim and dunk or finish with either hand. When putting that into conjunction with his clearly superb vision, there's enough there to make Dunn a first-round pick. Then throw in the fact that he's going to be a first-team All-Big East defensive team member that uses his length to cause opposing guards all kinds of problems? Dunn could rise all the way to the lottery by the end of the process.
