they're dubbing dunn as the steal of the draft
This is going to stun people…Preseason. Need to see it once the players and teams care. And once Ryan has pressure of the shots counting.
That said his shot definitely isn’t broken and he seems to have confidence. Those are two huge things. And his defense is as billed. Very cautiously optimistic.
Dunn's defense is for real, he has nice arc on his shot and he carries himself like a pro.
I'm buying, especially because he is buying. He looks like he belongs.
Now, putting him in a star category, I will have to wait.
It’s all about the shot. Andre Roberson was the best wing defender in the league after Kawhi but got played out of the league because he couldn’t shoot. He has seemed to look in rhythm when catching & shooting which is all he needs to do. I was looking at old Okogie splits and he went 23/51 from 3 over a ten game stretch and everyone thought we had something.
His shooting form and release now looks better than Okogie's shot has ever looked as well.I agree about Dunn having to make his shot.
As I sort of mentioned, I like the way he carries himself. He has the attitude he belongs and it carries over to his game no matter who he guards.

Yeah, I remember that very well - but those were mostly open shots. Dunn is shooting with people in his face.It’s all about the shot.

It is very early but Dunn is on his way to become the next Robert Covington. At least.
44% is a ridiculous number and not sustainable, but still, for a guy who "couldn't shoot," that's pretty much a 180 of what everyone thought.that's a lot of 3s for someone who never shot 3s

He looks as though he belongs, that’s half the equation to a successful NBA career.
If he plays at that level does that change your mind about our window being open in your opinion?I am buying.
He is looking for the 3 at the end of game last night to win it.
Confidence I believe is at least 70% of being a successful player IMO - well being successful at anything really.
You combine that with his athleticism, size and length, and he is going to succeed - and has the potential to really succeed like All Star success.
