His offense will likely be terrible, but fans will love him. Utterly one of the most special defensive prospects I've ever seen. Ridiculous energy and tenacity - than Dan Majerle hustle award is a lock for him.

If he can miraculously develop some offense, we're getting a special one

He's been rated as the best defender in the draft.

20% from 3
53% FT

unplayable

also isn't quick enough to guard ball handlers so what's his role

And of course, we pass on Collier, a position of need.

JJ really hates point guards.

A wind defender is not the worst pick but what we really needed was a point guard or bigs and I doubt whoever is left at #56 is going to be a player that can contribute right away.

GoK was very high on him so he's celebrating at the moment.

He can be a better Herb Jones. He's younger too than Herb was when he came out

LETSSSSS GO!!! Ryan Dunn is an exciting acquisition and will be a fan favorite with his energy and defense.

Perfect move by James Jones. We could get him at #22 but he traded down and got #56 and a couple of future 2nds next to his guy Ryan Dunn.

Where's the path to starting? Booker and Beal are our backcourt. Dunn can slot right in next to KD trmw and shut dudes down.

If he can stay on the floor

Needs to get some kind of shot, won't matter how good is defense is if teams can ignore him entirely on offense

Holmes was projected to go at 22 or 23 so good move for them.

Dunn will be getting his offensive reps on the Valley Suns. Sarver killed the Suns development path by putting the G-league team in Prescott and then selling it.

Hopefully his energy is contagious. We NEED that high level energy on the floor.

I think he will back up KD. If we can play him with mostly shooters, that would be good. We definitely need a PG and big though. Who is our backup big? Who is our future big?

I wonder if we offered a few 2nd rounders how high we could get if someone like Kolek or Filipowski in the 30s.

He doesn't need to start but to simply get minutes and the ball out of either Booker's or Beal's hands when it matters. They're both off the ball players and having the ball in their hands as the distributor has proven to be a mistake time and again.
