Ryan Dunn - the Real Deal or Beginner's Luck?

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

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.

Yeah Okogies hot streak is the cautionary tale and why I’m not in full “buy” mode yet.

Cautiously optomistic but not ready to double that 10 yet.

Buying

The form is looking more and more natural.

Confidence is there, hopefully it doesn’t waiver like JO or those who go in a slump.

I mean that steal and pull up against the pistons had me like whaat!

Then the nuggets, well the trigger is a lot faster. Usually those who can shoot quick, with good form tend to be good shooters.

Ryan Dunn is well on his way to passing Steph Curry as the NBA's all-time best shooter. OK, maybe I got carried away a little.

I have no doubt about his defensive chops, if he can be even a C- on offense, he’s a steal. Early on it looks promising.

Given how the league has progressed over the last half season with letting more physicality go on the defensive end, having someone like Ryan (and Okogie) who will be in people's faces a lot will be great.

Dunn was undoubtedly a steal, even if he doesn't grow his game. He's made Okogie redundant and expendable as well as Royce O'Neale if he can continue hitting 3's. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out but he also speaks to the value of late 1st round picks. We should never brush away their value.

Dunn actually helped Westbrook up off the floor!

 

[JCSunsfan]

He has the jumping ability of Marion, the defense of Mikal, and it looks like the three-point shooting of Grayson Allen. All we need to add is the ball-handling and passing of Steve Nash and maybe we would have a good player.

Ryan Dunn is such a good defender that refs ask his permission to call fouls.

IMO, it's way too early to compare Ryan Dunn to Shawn Marion when he hasn't even played a regular season game.

Players like Marion do not come along very often.
