I think it's a smart move. The offense right now is worrisome but he just needs to catch and dunk. We need a tough JYD type, need the athleticism and he can switch just about everything 1-4.

I don’t mind it in the surface - good versatile defender, athletic which were not exactly strong points for Suns last year

I look forward to Dunn giving Booker fits in practice and Booker having a toddler meltdown.

Very very very lite. Dude only attempted 49 jump shots last year.

I’m not mad at Dunn. But definitely worried about his offense. Just seems like a taller Josh Okogie. I guess that’s not the worst thing but hoping for the best. Be a lob thread, defend your ass off I guess that’s okay for 15-20mins

He's probably Tony Allen, can't shoot a lick but will defend 1-4 til his death

So stupid with both Collier and Kolek on the board. I am convinced Jones will never draft a point guard, even when we desperately need one.

Dunn is who I wanted(after Da Silva wasn’t there). Happy we traded down and picked up more assets…Just don’t think there was anyone picked between 22-27 that I cared much about. Holmes I liked, but Dunn can help us. He’s a better defender than Okogie and much bigger…ya he can’t shoot at all, but hopefully that’s something he works on. If not, he could be a solid 8th-9th man and intrigues me in small ball lineups particularly.

Won't draft one. Won't sign one. Won't even acknowledge that they exist :lol:

I feel like Dunn’s versatility on d will be very useful with the big 3, picking up guards on some nights, forwards on others and being generally pesky and disruptive. It may be the novelty of actually drafting someone but starting to like this!

He did draft Ty Jerome…I wouldn’t have minded Kolek, but he’s also still available…could trade up and get an early 2nd and take him. Dunn could play a bigger role if he hits…Kolek is just a backup pg imo.

Big difference for me too is that he can play in the dunker spot. He’s a lob threat so you’re not just stuck sticking him in the corner like Okogie…of course it hurts spacing if he’s out there with Nurk, but if we find a way to get a 5 that can shoot?

A lot of the guys mocked to go in the mid 1st dropped. Happens every year.
