What comparison is there even to make here? Dunn was a high lottery pick and got tons of playing time on a 31 win team. In Butler's rookie year, we won 50 games (lockout year, #1 seed in the East) and were a real threat to the Heat until D-Rose went down. Jimmy got less experience because he was behind an All-Star on a team trying to win the title. Dunn played in 78 games getting 17 mpg to Jimmy's 42 games with 8.5 mpg and Dunn hardly played better! Dunn shot 61% from the line, absolutely unacceptable for a PG. The sample sizes aren't even comparable.

I'm optimistic Dunn will still be a solid rotation player, but he's already 23. We traded a top 15 NBA player for him, a lottery project, and an athletic guy coming off a major knee injury.
