Kris Dunn, on a minuscule contract, is one of the Jazz's best guards. How is the former NBA journeyman playing so well?
No, it’s true, Will Hardy said. “Every basket he scored, he would turn and he would flex at me. So I finally asked him, ‘What are you doing? Are you flexing at me? I’m rooting for you, man.’”Kris Dunn is here. Less than 30 NBA games out of the G-League, and as a 29-year-old, he’s playing the best basketball of his career. Heck, he might be the Jazz’s best point guard right now.
But he really improved in 2023 with the Capital City Go-Go, where he was the undisputed leader of Mike Williams’ team. The Jazz called Dunn up — and immediately gave him the second-most minutes of any player on the roster. That might be because of his stellar defensive play. Even in his first NBA stint, Dunn earned All-Defensive team votes, a characteristic he has carried over to his NBA rebirth. “He is a defensive ball hawk, first and foremost. He’s able to pressure the ball, guard multiple positions, create turnovers, and disrupt the timing of the other team’s offense,” Hardy said.
“I don’t really think about it,” Dunn said about the impending date. “I just leave it to my agent and the front office.” That means that Dunn will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming summer — there’s no way for the Jazz to take advantage of finding him first other than convincing Dunn to sign on the bottom line in what could be a competitive market.Still, Dunn’s very confident that it will all work out for the long term. After all, he’s always been confident about everything.
