Dunn is one of the biggest gains of the Clippers last season. Although he has not made much contribution on the offensive end, his height and 2.12-meter wingspan are a good player on the defensive end, with a large area of defense and can go from defender to forward line. When Dunn was on the court last season, the Clippers lost 4.3 points per 100 possessions. The league ranked 8th in the fight and intercept 3.2, and the defense efficiency is 106.0, ranking 16th in the league.
His defensive skills and defensive awareness are very good, and his willingness to fight has allowed him to make frequent contributions on the defensive end.
He is not at a disadvantage when facing the front line. He can not only withstand James' back play, but also with Adu's breakthrough. When facing the defender, he likes to steal through his long arm span when they dribble. His defense is everywhere - this round when Porter Jr. is ready to pull out, he and Jones Jr. are slid together when Jokic breaks through. He immediately shrank and blocked Jokic. His hand was very fast. When he often swiped the card to defend, he completed the steal. This round also showed his defensive rotation. First, he stood between Lillard and Trent at the top of the arc, so that Trent could not break through easily. However, after Lillard got the ball, he broke through step by step, and he completed the block behind with his speed and wingspan. Although Dunn was only 1.98m, he could defend from 1 to 5 on the defensive end. Not only single defense, but also assisted defense or supplementary defense. As long as it was related to defense, he would be sure to leave it to him.
The Clippers traded in the offseason and signed Bill and Paul. It made everyone exclaim that the Clippers are the powerful impactors of the championship next season. But Dunn's defense is very important in the team. When there are so many offensive players in the team, he needs to do some dirty and tiring work for them. If he can improve his three-pointer, he can perfectly supplement the vacancy that Powell left.
So what do you think the Clippers will be like next year?
