NBA scout on Dunn coming back: "Smart move, scouts want to see him have back-to/back solid seasons and remain healthy........

[DCwarrior]

It's only a smart move if he's able to improve his jumper and stay healthy. He's taking a really big risk turning down guaranteed 1st round money with his injury history. Hope it works out well for him.

Braeden Anderson told ESPN he will transfer to Seton Hall. also granted permission to play basketball and attend law school. So impressive.

Going by the way early NBC Top 25, the Gavitt Games set up playing better B1G schools than some think.

Big East plays 3 of the top 4 Big Ten Teams-
#12 Georgetown @ #3 Maryland
Creighton @ #15 Indiana
#18 Xavier @ #17 Michigan
DePaul @ Penn St

Nebraska @ #9 Villanova
Iowa @ #23 Marquette
Illinois @ Providence
Rutgers @ St John's

The only top 4 Big Ten team the Big East does not get this year is #7 Michigan St. #19 Wisconsin.

I'd be absolutely shocked if we were actually ranked to start the season.

Underclassmen coming back for another year sure helped the Gavitt Games.
LeVert for Michigan, would they be ranked without him?
Ferrell coming back to Indiana. They could be really good.
Smith Rivera back is huge for Georgetown.
Dunn deciding to come back and could be Big East player of the year.
