I have really enjoyed Dunn, but I think I might love Oso even more. He's such a talented facilitator and is always in the right place.




He is a bigger, nicer Draymond Green.
Once I saw his breakdown of newly! seen PRO plays, I knew he was a gem


IQ is a skill even more important than physical ability, IMHO
He's maximized his physical ability up to now using the knowledge he's had; it's on us as a team to expand his knowledge

I take it you're not a LOTR fan.
Durin is the prominent dwarve in The Rings of Power that just finished season 2.

I haven't read the books and I've watched the movie series once. And are you equating Durin to Durant?

I think Royce is a good role player unworthy of our mistrust. He’s just there to hit open shots and be decent defender, and move the ball. Clearly we see a difference already with having point guards. He scored 11 points in 15 minutes and had a block and a steal with 3/5 from 3. That said, I hope Dunn earns all the minutes.

Ya Royce is reliable…he’ll always look better when the shots fall, but he makes smart decisions, he is a willing shooter and willing defender. I wish he had a bit more size and had a little juice going to the rim, but he wouldn’t have been available to us if he had those tools. Should be a useful 20-minute off the bench guy. I also would love if Ryan Dunn stole his minutes.

I wonder if eventually Dunn(if his 3pt shot is real) replaces Beal in the starting lineup, like Bowen started over Manu?

Nothing related to the game itself. I just got a kick out of just having finished the show, only to hear the same name on the court

Don't fret about this guys. I had a harder time watching this series than I had watching the Suns last season.

Love everything about this team.

I agree that we need another legit 4, isn't that Bol Bol. I hope we can find minutes for him. It is going to be difficult with how both Rooks are playing.

Imagine if Oso can develop a reliable 3 point shot. We have a great practice court, some of the best shooters ever to help instruct him. Hell Nurk has been working on his shot. If Dunn can shoot threes at around 40%, he will be a starter by December.

So many good players. Bud has some decisions to make. Please keep Frank.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Put them in the Dunngeon!
Finally a Dunn pun that isn’t cringe inducing.
