Ryan Dunn has been a major surprise for the Phoenix so far this season. With the 28th overall pick looking like a flamethrower on top of elite defense, is Ryan Dunn the biggest steal of the 2024 NBA Draft class?

KD makes anyone who wants to learn a better player. Bron trades anyone whos not his son.
Suns fan here…Ryan Dunn, the future is now!
fan-fucking-tastic video my guy
Great video Alex. Watching the Suns this season, Dunn brings the defensive hustle and a certain chutzpah this team was really lacking last year. I'm not sure if his current 3P rate is sustainable but Dunn is a support piece this team needed badly.
I was so insistent my Knicks shouldβve drafted him before the draft and Iβm so glad to be right
My boy Ryan been going bonkers
Absolute steal.
I remember in one of the pre season game, this dude is willing to take threes in a fast break. Then i knew he is gonna get better in shooting. But I wasnβt expecting him to improve so fast.
The next game after this video:
Dunn: 16 pts
4 reb
6-12 fg
4-9 from 3
Not only that, but they were impactful stats. Mikal 2.0?
His game is like bridges & cam Johnson put together
Royce OβNeal been looking nice too
Dunn after a full season is going to be a really solid starter π
Imagine the Bucks grabbed him at 23β¦ bucks would be 4-1 instead of 1-4 easy
They were missing a player that fits his description. When the suns had Mikal Bridges, he brought this type of archetype to the floor. Since Mikal and Cam left they have been trying to fill their spots with various role players but that was some of the most team chemistry ball the team has had in recent seasons. Dunn fits right in to this group
I SEE RUI WITH BETTER DEFENCE BUT WITH LESS OFFENSE
Dude woulda been perfect on the Cavs
He has an insanely high block and steal percentage right now. Then he is spacing the floor earlier than expected. all he needs to do now is improve his rebounding and passing. He could be a Marion or a Joe Johnson. It would be nice to get a good weak side shot blocker and a passing lane threat.
Dunn is the player might suit in Suns system
Dunn has been awesome so far, yes small sample size, in regards to the shot making, but that defensive ability isn't going away. Now all the Suns need is to trade useless Nurk for a 7 foot long armed atheletic rim defender and I really like their chances.
he's the rookie im most interested in so far. i've been fw him heavy
Came from browser YouTube just to comment and sub #gosuns
The Suns seemingly had zero options outside of that one lower 1st round pick…only minimum deals in free agency and huge limitations on their trade prospects, being so far into the luxury tax. The ONE guy who fit their most desperate need (a big wing defender to replace the traded away Bridges and Cam) was there at the bottom of the first round. Their other need, a starter caliber true point guard, luckily was signed for the minimum. And BOOM, they're contenders again! I certainly didn't expect them to get so lucky.
Sample siβ¦..

Its those summer workouts and rns with KD
He reminds me of Mikal Bridges I miss him π’
go hoos
Suns Got a Good Player
Mikal Bridges part 2
0:29 this statistic immediately blew my mind, DUNN will be already crucial for suns gameplay
Not a trick to draft a prospect. The way the Suns tricked the entire NBA this year was signing Tyus Jones.
This reminds me… RIP Ryan Dunn
Ngl, I did not think that Dunn would even be in the Suns' rotation when he got drafted. You don't usually see rookies being getting PT on teams that are trying to contend. The fact that he was put into their rotation immediately and has managed to stand out pretty quickly speaks to how good he is. He is the replacement for Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson that they needed. Playing alongside (super)stars like Durant, Booker, Beal and having to defend the likes of LeBron and Luka early on has been a good test for him, and he has stepped up to the challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing his development; he's in the best situation to do that with the number of vets on his team and the organization having faith in him.
Also, he is from my hometown, so I'm supporting the dude.
Phoenix got steals with Dunn and Tyus
Not surprising the nba practically gives up after the first 10 picks π π π€£π€£π€£
44% from 3 in October.
30% in November.
Hmmm.
