Can Suns Rookie Ryan Dunn Turn His Biggest WEAKNESS To A Strength?

Can Suns Rookie Ryan Dunn Turn His Biggest WEAKNESS To A Strength?

a lot of teams were impressed with what they saw they believe that it will get better as dun said it’s still a work in progress It’s not going to happen overnight um but hopefully there is a path to him just being respectable from three because if he is he’s going to be one of the late first round steals of this entire draft mcoy for all the spots that he could have landed to be able to land with a team like the Suns and have Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on this team that are really high high performing Shooters I think that can only help you especially with Grayson on there like and and as somebody pointed out his mechanics do look good it’s just you know they’re not consistent enough and that just comes with reps and time and um and and obviously Pace has a lot to do with it when you jack up a shot every seven minutes playing for the University of Virginia yeah you’re probably not gonna be all that great unless you’re just on a heater that night and a heater means you made four shots in a game oh for Virginia Cavaliers well listen let me help you guys out because of of course he was asked about the jump shot right as well as the pre-draft workout here’s what he had to say Ryan I was curious about that your jump shot in the pre-draft process was focused on a lot how eager were you to get in pre-draft workouts like the one you had with Phoenix and show excited I was so excited um you know just just showing what I can do and how I can shoot it um you know I thought was the whole talking point of my whole draft process CU I shoot so you know not just even the Phoenix everywhere I went it was just you know show that I can do a little bit more um and it’s still improving um just more reps and more reps over and over again you know just getting out there and shooting but I’m I’m excited you know it’s a show so I’m grateful I did a pretty job here okay two things one I left Kell’s a question in there specifically so that you guys could see how eager he was to answer that question that he actually cut Kellen off before he was able to finish the question because Ryan was so eager to share some thoughts and give answers around his jump shot but after that he answered that question another reporter followed up and asked him if he thinks that the percentages from college misrepresented what he thinks he can bring to the table and here’s how he answered that I’ll say yes I would say um I think it was a little but you know I was had to shoot him so being in this league now and you know having an opportunity you know to be with these guys I’m going have to let it go so that’s my mindset right now so he’s he’s confident in himself that he will be able to grow and develop in that area and bring something positive to the table I love that that arm ain’t going to know what to do when it shoots eight times in a game be worn out by the second half got something iny he’s gonna be in the gym all summer listen I I I I I have mad respect for their University of Virginia they have a great program out there it’s just I do do think that sometimes things can be a little skewed because of the system that they run it is a very methodical slowdown system um and it’s and it’s hard to to be at such a high level if you’re not like the most dominant player out there in that system so that’s why they hang their hat on on defense like that that’s that’s as consistent as they can be it lets them get out there and run that’s probably why these guys are such great Defenders because they’re like the only time we get a chance to just get out there and run is when we steal the ball we got to walk it up again you know what I mean it was like survival of the fittest we have to do this and we’re not going to I got to get my number somehow I’m going for this steal again coach uh no but it’s it’s interesting how um excited he was to talk about like yes I feel like I’m a better shooter than people give me credit for and we heard the pre-draft Buzz heading into the draft about like he was impressing teams in workouts with the way that his shot looked um so I actually did get to ask James Jones in a scrum after the press conference about what he showed on the offensive end in that workout and how his shot looked and this is what Jones had to say I mean well I think the unique thing about both of those guys uh is that they’re they’re talented and uh they were asked to do certain things for their teams and like like they both alluded to like being great teammates being being win first guys they settled on their roles and and for him his role was not to shoot threes and so when he came in evidently he knew that was a narrative that was surrounding him but he shot the ball exceptionally well um shot it with confidence and and what we realized was there’s still a lot of work a lot of room for grow but the fundamentals and the basics of there um I I think you’ll find with with the game’s best players these guys the more volume they have the better they get um I have no doubt he’ll be a capable and above capable shooter in the near future yeah so sorry for the angle there but James Jones is still really freaking tall yeah but no still can yeah it kind of speaks to um you know what we’ve been hearing leading up to the draft that a lot of teams were impressed with what they saw they believe that it will get better as Dunn said it’s still a work in progress It’s not going to happen overnight um but hopefully there is a path to him just being respectable from three because if he is he’s going to be one of the late first round steals of this entire draft

There were questions about Phoenix Suns rookie, Ryan Dunn and his jumpshot during the draft processes. How does he think it will translate in the NBA and what did Suns GM James Jones see that made him feel confident during his workouts?
