Kris Dunn entered the season as the premiere point guard in America, and he leaves as the most NBA-ready guard in the upcoming draft. At 6-4 220 pounds, Dunn has a size advantage over just about anyone in the college game at his position. He uses his strength and ball-handling to drive into the lane and score, or open up shots for teammates. He’s a complete player in every sense of the word and he was rewarded by repeating as Big East Player of the year in 2016.

His Providence Friars are on a collision course with the North Carolina Tar Heels in the round of 32.

Don’t expect that to turn out well for Dunn and company. But don’t expect him to go down without a fight, either.
