Anyone know who Dunn's shooting coach was over the summer?

The Miracle Worker, Anne Sullivan. After teaching Helen Keller to shoot threes, teaching Dunn was a piece of cake.

My post didn’t come through apparently, but I am loving Booker just launching 3s…he has gone from taking at least 12 2s a game every year since his rookie year, to taking 8 a game this year. Also of note, his TS% is .659. Obviously small sample size here, but early results are encouraging…
A 5 man lineup of Beal, Booker, Royce, Dunn, KD has Beal as the worst 3 point shooter so far at 42%…Dunn is 44%, Booker 45%, KD 46%, and Royce 48%

Don’t forget Nurk, who is shooting 50% from three over the past three days.

Apparently it was Grayson and every time Dunn swished a basket, Grayson would eat a whole pizza.
Seems weird but it looks like it worked for everyone.

Tyus is really helping us. I worry he'll be a one-year rental, but I hope Jones and the FO are trying to come up with creative ways to keep him.

“Creative” as in “undisclosed agreements or other illegal ways to circumvent the salary cap”? The penalty will be more than the 2nd we lost for Drew if we get busted.

LOL. He holds the arena record in an arena that has seen three games played, two of them by us.
Same game saw Ryan Dunn get career highs in points, rebounds, FG, FGA, 3P, 3PA and +/-. Career high after five career games, that is. Pretty sure those personal bests will be broken soon enough.

The teams with capspace next year are either bad or likely won't need a PG so he could find himself in a similar situation next summer. Start on a winning team for the minimum or take more money to play for a bad team and/or be a backup somewhere else.

Can we promise to pay him when eligible to do so? Or did we maybe get in trouble for that in the past? Who am I thinking of? Danny Manning? And he got paid even though injured? Something like that?

Can't have any prearranged deals but also Is he willing to wait until 2035 when we finally have capspace?

We can give him a 20% raise next year and then we’d have early bird rights and could offer him basically the MLE.
