Kris Dunn Named Top Player in College Basketball by NBC Sports
The national attention and praise for Kris Dunn keeps rolling in as College Basketball Talk at NBCSports.com named Dunn the top player in college basketball for the 2015-16 season.

In addition to these accolades Dunn has also been named to Preseason All-American teams by Blue Ribbon College Yearbook, Sporting News and CBSSports.com. Blue Ribbon and CBSSports.com were First Team proclamations while Sporting News placed Dunn on their Second Team.
