IMO folks are being too hard on Dunn. It's just a mid-season slump. But I also have had lower expectations for him than many here. When he was drafted, I read at least one scout calling him the worst offensive prospect he had ever seen. He still isn't a good on that end, but he's far from the worst. He makes good cuts, his handle is much better, and he has become a pretty good pocket passer.

If I had to guess at the cause of this slump, I'd say it's because he and Brooks play the same role. Brooks is obvs better, so when they are both on the court Dunn has to adjust and play a different role. He has to learn how to play that secondary role. AND he's learning to play PF this season.

Plus, I look at the other Dunn for the Clippers and he's become a pretty good shooter. He was horrible to start. Dunn has improved here too but hasn't been shooting many lately.

I think he should go back to starting in the other forward spot next to Brooks. Royce has kind of been butt lately and we're getting killed on the glass.
