In regards to his draft status for this coming year, I guess only NBA people know for sure but I'm of the belief that he will get all the press and hype he can handle because he is the extremely rare case of someone returning to school when he could have been a top 15 pick, and you know coaches would love to use him as an example in the future that your draft status can improve along with your play by returning. I guess we will see but college coaches have been going out of the way to praise him including picking him in a CBS coaches poll where he was selected as the number 1 player most coaches would like to have on their team.

I'd hardly call it "extremely rare." Happens every year. Montrezzl Harrel, Jared Sullinger, Marcus Smart, half of the 2014 UK team, etc.

Ok, fair enough especially with Smart and Willy Cauley-Stein. I'm specifically referring about going in the lottery. Dunn's measurable's are pretty significant, I'm comfortable saying that if he had declared and gone to the NBA pre-draft camp he would have been a lottery pick.
