Ryan Dunn - the Real Deal or Beginner's Luck?

This should be the breath-out season for him, if there is one.

Dunn needs to learn playing defense the right way, not fully relying on athletism. Take a lesson from teammates Goodwin, Highsmith, or even Fleming. Manage to stay in front of your opponent all time, by harnessing your speed and explosion on D. I'm not worried about his offense, as he will improve his 3pt % steadily.

This is his last chance. He will be the first SF off the bench. I'm going out on a limb and say he will shine, go Dunn

Truth is we need more scoring. We should have more size now. That is terrific. Can Green, Bridges and Brooks provide enough around Booker? If teams keep collapsing on Book so we settle for bad threes it will be a long season. I guess we can count on around 10 PPG from Collin and Goody. Maybe Kennard. Looking forward to the season!

I am looking at the wild card of Fleming's three point shot. This is a big ask, but if he can bring that summer league three point shot to the regular season, he could be a wild card in all of this.

Bench is the wildcard. Collin and Goodie will get theirs. If Dunn and Flemming are good look out.

Sounded like Koa Peat was aiming for rotation minutes. How did he score in college and summer league? 5-8 PPG range?

Koa is going to have to be really good to do that. Most likely he has a gleague developmental year.

It depends on if he can bully ball bigger guys in the NBA. Summer League he was a man among boys. Can he actually do it among other men?

I think he'll be effective out of the gate but likely be a foul magnet and will need to develop counters once they really start scouting him. That's IF he sees the court his rookie season and I have no clue about that. My guess, we'll initially treat him as if he were a top 10 pick and keep him with the big club most of the season. Maybe he'll spend more than a few days in the minors but our post-Sarver relationship with Klutch Sports might factor into it too.
