mostly Dun was the ultimate tweener. He was marginal in both strength and quicks and any program to improve one tended to make the other worse..</p> He was well schooled-but never mentally quick to naturally apply that. I wonder how Pietrus would do with an NBA player and Coach as a dad and a few years at Duke-then handed starter minutes. On D...I do give Dun credit for pain threshold. Steppng in front of a bus takes some guts. Unfortunately---that's his only skill on D. His perimeter shooting was always a myth. Even at Duke..he was a good perimeter shooter FOR A 6-10 GUY...and that got overhyped. In fact-Murph was a better outside shot and knew when he was cold. Dun could rack up a lot of 2-10 nights. Dun had some small man skills...but really-so what,since he didn't have usable big man skills he was like a slow 6-6 guy.</p> Held back playing with Foyle + Murph? I think playing alongside Dun really hurt them. The W's were always trying to find a way to make Dun useful while Murphy had to settle for adapting to roles he wasn't ideal for,rather than ever getting optimized. Foyle ran about 5 miles per game setting picks and screens for Dun and Fish....mostly a wasted effort since they never had the timing to use a pick or screen well.</p> Dun CAN have a good game once a week. That's kept him playing just enough to do damage the NEXT game when he sucks and you lose.</p>
