Virginia wing Ryan Dunn could end up being the right pick for the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns have three prospects that Arizona Sports' insider John Gambadoro has confirmed the franchise will have interest in - Tyler Kolek of Marquette, Baylor's Yves Missi, and Virginia's Ryan Dunn - who was named
If - and it's a big if - Ryan Dunn can develop enough offense to stay on the court, he has legitimate All-Defense upside. 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game compared to only 2.1 fouls. When on the court , UVA went from 278th best rim defense to 57th.Dunn averaged nearly three blocks+steals per contest in his sophomore year at Virginia, which indicates a natural ability to both contest shots and play an extremely anticipatory brand in the passing lanes.
His instincts, elite athleticism, and above-the-rim finishing simply make him one of the most intriguing defensive prospects in recent years - although his ability on the offensive side of the ball will certainly raise questions.Dunn shot just 23.5% from three-point range while also only achieving a 52.5% clip from the free throw line in his collegiate career - and has serious questions about both how the shot will translate or how his lack of self creation will hinder an offense.
