The skills that Dunning Jr. has allows him to score at will, and is a rim protector, can shoot anywhere on the floor, and involves his teammates. If the game isn’t going his teams way and they are down, he can take over a game. Dunning Jr. will need to use all his skills while playing in the SEC where he will go up against stiff competition. I’m sure Coach Musselman and staff will have him ready.
