Dunn provided 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five steals and four rebounds across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 116-80 win over the Grizzlies.
Making his first NBA start after point guard Ricky Rubio (elbow) was ruled out indefinitely, Dunn acquitted himself well on both ends of the court, though he had the benefit of going against an undermanned Grizzlies roster that was missing floor general Mike Conley (rest). Fellow rookie first-rounder Wade Baldwin made the start at point guard in place of Conley, but Dunn roundly outplayed him. As the five steals attest, there's no doubt Dunn's capable of wreaking havoc defensively, but the jury is out on if he'll be able to shoot well enough to be a long-term starter at the position. He's shot 53.3 percent from the field in a small, but promising sample so far, and the Wolves will give Dunn every opportunity to prove himself in that regard with Rubio facing an uncertain recovery timeline.
