(Rights traded to the Phoenix Suns)
Pros:
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker for his size
Solid rebounder for his size
Solid defender that can rack up steals
Good shot blocker
Good athlete
Cons:
Struggles to consistently create his own shot
Needs to improve his shooting
Not an elite ball handler
Too passive on offense

Summary:
Ryan Dunn is an athletic, energetic combo forward that currently plays at Virginia. He did not get much playing time last year, but he had a solid season this year, and he is one of the best defenders in the draft. He’ll need to improve his jump shot and be more assertive on offense, but he is a high-motor, rangy defender whose ability to make hustle plays could enable him to be a first round pick in the 2024 draft.
