Ht: 6-4 Wt.: 210 Age: 22

Pos: Point guard

College: Providence

Last season: He ranked second in the Big East in assists (6.2 per game) and fourth in scoring (16.4), and led the league in steals and was fifth in the nation with 2.5 per game.

Did you know? Dunn and former Georgetown star Patrick Ewing are the only Big East players to earn both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year twice. Dunn is the sixth player in the Big East's 38-year history to win Player of the Year twice. He missed nine games his freshman season and was redshirted his sophomore season (2013-14) because of two shoulder surgeries within 18 months. The injuries still concerned some teams are they prepared for the draft.

Wolves role: TBD, depending upon starting point guard Ricky Rubio's future with the franchise. With or without Rubio on the team and whether he starts or not, Dunn will add toughness, playmaking and is projected to become an elite NBA perimeter defender.
