Kris Dunn put on a show in Las Vegas Summer League Friday against the Denver Nuggets. The Minnesota Timberwolves guard flashed a brilliant handle, made some tough shots, put up 27 points, shot glares at the Nuggets bench after made buckets and flexed on fellow rookie Jamal Murray after a bucket.
But his biggest highlight wasn't even a bucket. It was this crossover that left JaKarr Sampson lying prone on the ground like he'd lost control of his limbs.
Stop it, Kris Dunn! The rook has 19 on ESPN. #NBASummerhttps://t.co/EVPGQh5wFL

Just filthy.
Dunn showed up to prove he was the best guard in a draft class loaded with them at the top. It would be remarkable if Dunn were to win Rookie of the Year (presumably over Ben Simmons), given it would mean three straight award winners of ROY for the Wolves. Dunn has about as impressive with his debut as he could be for the Timberwolves in Summer League, and let everyone, including Sampson, know it.
