Father More Gung-Ho Than Son About Any Possible Dunleavy Pairing

Filed under: ,

Mike Dunleavy Jr.Mike Dunleavy Jr. will be a free agent this summer. His father is out of work and could return as an NBA coach.

How about a Dunleavy duo surfacing in the NBA?

Well, the son isn't too keen on the idea.

"Not really," Dunleavy Jr., an Indiana swingman, said Sunday when asked if it's a dream to one day play on an NBA team coached by his dad, Mike Dunleavy Sr. "There could be a lot of issues with it. If it were to happen, you'd make the most of it. But it's not something that I'm trying to do... If you were on a great team and you're winning, to do it with your dad, that would be great. But when things aren't going well, it could be kind of like hit or miss.''

Dunleavy Jr. didn't disagree situations such as playing time could provide a distraction if he ever were to play for his father.

"There just could be issues," said Dunleavy Jr., a nine-year man with a career scoring average of 12.1. "I'd prefer not to play for a family member. But if it happens, it happens... It's not something that I don't think either one of us is trying to make happen.''
