Ryan Dunn

Dunn chose Virginia specifically for the defensive system under Tony Bennett — a deliberate decision that accelerated his defensive development and was a key factor in his top-ten draft selection.

He is one of the most physically gifted defensive prospects to come out of his position in recent memory, with a combination of wingspan, lateral quickness, and motor that scouts compared to elite defensive wings from previous draft classes.

Growing up in the Inland Empire of California, Dunn was a multi-sport athlete before focusing exclusively on basketball, giving him the overall athleticism that makes his defensive game so versatile.

At just 22 years old in his rookie season, Dunn is already defending the opponent's best perimeter scorer in Phoenix's defensive schemes — a responsibility typically reserved for veterans with several years of experience.
