The phoenix of the sun became younger and consumed a significant part of the season 2025-2026 focusing on the development of the player.

Although they have more young players with name recognition, such as Khaman Maluch, the second year is Ryan Dunn who submits a strong chance to break out.

Three-point shot

When Dunn entered the League last year, he entered the reputation with the complete Nestoman, after he made a lot of 12 shots outside the port, during his two seasons in Virginia.

As such, the expectation of Dunna was to become a remarkable great, which would have to fight the shooters in three points, not to give up the floor spacing.

Then it was surprised when Dunn began to make threefold, regularly, at the level of the NBA.

During his Rookie Season, over 55% of recording attempts came from the city center and brought 31.1% of them.

That percentage is not great, but given the expectations, it was more than acceptable, especially as it ended the season with 82, about 80 years more than he would think most.

While entering its sophomore season, the sun hopes Dunn occupies another evolutionary step as a shooter and becomes a high quantity, which can suddenly fill a much needed role in 3 and D.

Defense

To become a player with 3 and D, you also need defensive opportunities, from which Dunn has enough. Navigation His screen, feet and level of intensity, all act in its benefit, and if it is to see additional improvement as a defense counsel, it will be difficult to hold it from the floor.

In 6’6, without shoes and 7’1 Wingspan, Dunn is a great human being with a huge motor and knowledge how to apply that size. His athletic skill helps only with his case, and he is versatile enough for both to descend to guard and more positions.

In the NBA, they rarely find players who can play guards and strength, but Dunn should file a decent chance to become one of them, which in turn offers the sun flexibility sunssey.

This does not mean that Dunn cannot be improved at that end of the floor.

Its 1.5% the stole speed was fine, but nothing for writing a house and it will be a big key for him, because it stolves statistical registers as one of the most favorable defense meters in the whole basketball.

The legs of the leg is to set himself, now becomes a matter of time to spend his hands and jumps on the path of offensive player.

All in all, it will be interesting to see the 22-year-old perform this year, because it could be one of the most favorable players in the league.
