Dunn, drafted 28th overall, showed off his impressive athleticism and good form on his 3-point shot, something he said he has been working hard to improve after only shooting 20% from 3 last season at Virginia.

Dunn previously called Durant his favorite player growing up. The Suns have said they liked Dunn because of his impressive work ethic, and he has been labeled a “tireless worker” by Suns general manager James Jones, as well as his previous assistant coaches in college.
Now, we get out our first glimpse of what Dunn can do in the gym alongside some elite NBA talent. How this translates to the floor remains to be seen, but many reports suggest the Suns are pretty high on Dunn.
Phoenix officials are high on rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro and the releases open increased opportunities for both to contribute next season – along with roster movement potential moving forward. Little now will enter free agency. https://t.co/QFOspRvFf1
