That draft express story is beyond embellished.
There is a lot of uncertainty for Dunn. SOME execs see Kris as a late lottery pick which means more see him as being someone to take lower in the 1st round.
How low? The mock drafts have answered that by saying anywhere from 15-27...lots of money lost...poentially some opportunity lost as well.
Cooley is also doing his job by getting Kris to stay. And his job is to do so honestly. He is not tricking anyone. Kris knows where he stands and knows he can go get drafted in the 1st round this season.
I have been on record, if I were Kris I am out of here. I am moving on and heading to the NBA.
But Kris loves being at PC. He knows where he could be this time next season. Another NCAA tourney is not the most important. But lowering his T/Os, improving his 3-point shot, and perfecting that mid-range jumper can all be better accomplished at PC than in the NBA where he is risking spending time in the D leauge and sitting on the bench. That does not get him better.
I think Kris is smart no matter what he does.

Kris Dunn is Best Off to Declare for NBA Draftwww.rantsports.com/ncaa-basketball/2015/04/14/kris-dunn-is-best-off-to-declare-for-nba-draft/By Eric Scatamacchia @eric_Scat on April 14, 2015 After leading Providence to the NCAA tournament for just the second time in 10 years, point guard Kris Dunn has the opportunity to move on to the next level and play in the NBA. It would be smart for him to take that opportunity now. Dunn is projected as a mid-to-late first round pick and is considered one of the top players at his position. While he would likely improve his draft stock with another stellar year at Providence, that is no guarantee given Dunn’s injury history. In his first two seasons in college, the redshirt sophomore only played a total of 29 games, missing time due to multiple injuries to the same shoulder. Finally, in his third season at Providence, Dunn remained healthy throughout the season and showed the kind of player he can be. Dunn led the Big East in assists as well as steals and was second on his team in points and rebounds. His all-around game should translate to the NBA where he can further utilize his athleticism and above average-size for his position. This is not to say that Dunn has a flawless game . He can cut down on his turnovers and improve his shot, especially from the free-throw line. However, these are things that Dunn can work on in the NBA as he gets paid. A player with a substantial history of injury like Dunn must capitalize on the momentum of playing a full season. If he were to come back for another season at Providence, he risks sustaining another injury. That could be one too many injuries for NBA teams that must trust the health of a player before they invest millions of dollars in him. Having shown the type of elite talent he possesses, it would be a shame for NBA teams to write off Dunn before he gets a taste of an NBA contract. That is what he would be risking by returning to Providence.
