No idea how people think Brunson has a higher ceiling than Dunn as well . I know he's younger but Dunn is bigger stronger and has better physical attributes. The only thing Brunson does better than Dunn is shoot and he isn't in the same stratosphere athletically. Brunson is nice but Dunn is elite
I would disagree with your bolded statement. I saw Brunson play at a holiday tournament 90 minutes south of Chicago his senior season and the dude clearly has NBA level quickness and athleticism. Just in terms of his first step and ability to create space with his body, he reminds me physically of a Monta Ellis, maybe not as explosive but obviously a NBA level athlete in person.
Dunn is long and quick too, but not nearly as thick as Brunson so that hinders his ability to drive. Also I would say Brunson has more explosive ability. At this juncture I would argue Dunn is more offensively gifted than Brunson and is likely the better 15-16 college player, but Brunson has a great base to grow off of, and could end up the better of the two at the end of the day
Dunn has no issues in his ability to drive, kid is elite in that area in my view. Plus there's a difference doing it against HM kids on a nightly basis vs HS kids... I haven't seen that ability out of Brunson, his stroke is much better, but I give it to Dunn in every other area. He put up some ridiculous numbers last year, kid should be playing in the league right now
