Jim Donaldson: Extra year at PC paid off for Kris Dunn

  • Kris Dunn receives a hug from a supporter after he was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 5 pick.



  • The safe bet, for Kris Dunn, would have been to go pro a year ago.
    As the Big East Player of the Year in 2015, and also the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year, he would have been a lottery pick.
