Honestly, no.
People who thought Dunn was ready for 15 Ppg were smoking something.
I thought his 3 would be closer to 30% but there’s still time. His shot is clean and repeatable and the misses aren’t ugly, just not falling.
I thought for uva to reach that 4/5/6 seed ceiling, Dunn would need to hover around 10 Ppg which he is. But that 10 Ppg is going to look different than what most see in the box score. Right now, I think he is having confidence issues and really looks like he is trying to do too much (Should look familiar with a certain PG down 29 from Oklahoma…..).
He gets around 5 points a night from “chaos”, an offensive rebound, transition steal, etc. Then he is around 5 a night from set offensive, which is a three or layup.
What I do want to see more of is him getting to the rim, he’s a mismatch for most 4s and 5s and he’s good from the line. I think the most under appreciated part of his game is he can really finish at the rim over size. If the 3pt % can climb to around 30%, and he gets to the line more, then that would be a fantastic year. I also want to see Bennett get him involved more in the game. Let him get around some screens to attack down hill, run some backdown cut/back screen sets. Almost like a quarterback who needs a few check downs to get in tune.
Frankly before the NE game, only player I was disappointed in is Beekman, he hasn’t looked like the guy who should have been drafted last year but returned until Saturday.

I guess what we can infer is UVA fans think Beran is also a 1st rounder**

Just almost a bit shocked at how poorly Beran has started.

Not a slight, just one of those "one day he will finally get over the hump"
