Expert Analysis

Dunn is one of the best guards in the state that I don’t hear referenced often. She’s one of the best passing PGs I’ve seen, and takes pride in making her teammates better. She averaged 10 points and 4 assists a game for a good South Gibson team. The biggest number, for me, is her 90! made threes. That number is HUGE, and so is her upside.
Watch her play and you’ll see she does a great job keeping her hands and feet ready to shoot, and she’s hunting for threes at all times. Her teammates WANT to create these shots for her which says a lot. Impactful defender as well.

Karson Dunn Karson Dunn 5'6" | PG South Gibson | 2026 State TN is just different! I went back and watched South Gibson beat Crocket, and Dunn finished with 23 points, and an incredible 14-14 from the free throw line.
I don’t think casual fans understand the value in being a player that 1) gets to the rack 2) draws fouls at the rim at a high rate and 3) knocks them down.
When the other team fouls, they become more likely to get in both individual and collective foul trouble, it allows you to setup your defense, you get the highest percentage shot in basketball. Karson Dunn Karson Dunn 5'6" | PG South Gibson | 2026 State TN is a unique talent in that she incredibly talented score that can put the ball in the bucket in a multitude of ways.

I mainly know of a PG, and knew she could score it a bit (5.4 pts/game) when asked. But, I have no idea she was such a solid three point shooter. She knocked down 51 3s last year at 34%. Those mixtures of efficiency and volume are off the charts for a freshman! Huge upside!

Dunn is an old-school PG with basketball IQ for days. She was one of the best floor generals in the state as a freshman at South Gibson last season–but she also a really refined scorer. An incredible passer, she helped last years Sr Hallie Allen become SGHS’s all-time leading scorer last season. She makes on-time, on-target passes that always give her teammates the chance to make a play. As a PG and leader, she helped bring her team to the state 3-A Final Four, and put up 16pts and 8rebs in a quarterfinal win vs Dyer County.
She already has experience playing, and experiencing success on the biggest state, and doesn’t get rattled against vs defensive pressure or big moments. She’s a leader who loves challenges. This season you will see an uptick in her numbers as she will be relied upon to do more of everything as MTCS graduated a ton of talent. Dunn is a special player, and this season could be be coming out party.
