Dunn is 3 for 5 on 3s? If he’s already a shooter, we are in business
We need to stop getting excited about how good our 5th, 6th and 7th best wings are. It doesn’t matter.
If Dunn is good it 100% matters…don’t know what you mean by this

Suns bench platter hanging with the Nuggs starters is nice.

The offense, even as just the bench mob seems to run more efficiently than at any point last year.

Did Bilas say that "Walter Davis played the bulk of his career in Denver"? Did I hear that correctly?

6-11 from 3 tonight. Maybe we can get a little excited.
Go Suns!

We cant get excited that our rookie POA defender wing is already our best defender who knocks down 6 threes?

This would be a really fun "tank" team to root for. They'd win about 18 games maybe, but it'd be fun.

Are you serious right now...? Is this the first of Dunn this preseason you're following? Guy has looked legit since the start of preseason. He was already an elite defender in college and only slipped to us because he had a very poor shot in college. He's really improved there. Looking like a huge steal and someone that could legit get a ton of burn this season if this is the kind of kid we drafted.

Dunn would’ve been lottery pick if they did a redraft. This was fun game.

Dunn was projected as the best defender to come out of college in at least a decade. If he was projected to have this type of shooting ability, he would have been a top 10 or even top 5 player in the draft. He's nearly instantly a Bruce Bowen type 3&D player. Everyone wants one of those on their team.

Meh. Our 6th or 7th best wing.

If Dunn turns out to be an average offensive player he'll be a steal in the second round.

I'll be happy if he's a poor man's Shawn Marion.

I rather watch full games but peeped highlights cause I'm at work and was too curious lol

Was expecting to see even more Dunn euphoria :lol:
Still like I said have to watch the full game and see how his defense and overall offense was but my fav thing about him is the mentality.
Seems like a sponge, guy that asks lots of questions and just puts in the work.

The highlights also had a fair amount of Bol Bol but didn't see many comments and I haven't looked at the box score to see if he was efficient or not.

Wow. 6 threes! That is the highlight of this game. Has anybody turned their shot around this quickly? Hope he can sustain a reasonable clip into the regular season. Instantly becomes a key piece for us.
