    Needed because Hart bruised his tailbone on the fall after a dunk and it really stiffened up after the game?

    Blazers will re-evaluate in 2-3 weeks.

    I liked Dunn coming out of college. He also proved at the nba level that he could at least defend. I’d rather give him minutes than Elijah and Mclemore, see if he can play his way into next season.

    Isn't that the same description as DSJ? I'm not sure whether we could bring him back right now, though.

    If we had big guys then we would win a 3rd of our games and the Blazers can't have that!

    Love the tools he showed. He started off well. Then, not so much. To me he looked like he was pressing, playing too fast and trying to do too much. Like trying to show the staff he's an all star. Needs to settle down, try to get comfortable in the system.

    Yeah, he missed a few layins and had a couple of unforced turnovers that can be attributed to a lack of chemistry with his new teammates.
    Overall though he looks like he belongs in the league. Not sure why he has been out.

    He can’t shoot a lick. However some fans will still fall in love with him just like they fell for Dennis Smith Jr.

    Here's a classic Dennis Smith Jr. moment. Not only did DSJ miss a layup to tie the game, he didn't even get the shot off before the clock expired. Luka Doncic was not amused.

    I like Dunn as a backup PG next year. I think he’s more ready for a playoff type team than Williams or Keon, who are still pretty raw, albeit exciting.

    Hard to blame someone for it when they are playing on a tanking team, but he seemed like a bit of a ball hog from what I've seen. I get looking for your shot, especially on a 10 day, so maybe this is nitpicking.

    he’s averaging 7.3 assists/36, which places him first on the team, even if you include Dame.

    In 24 minutes a game, Dunn averages 7 shots, is shooting 49%, grabbing 3 rebounds and dishing 5 assists. He sets guys up and delivers the ball the instant they are ready.

    And gotta love the 2 steals a game.
