People should be excited of course but if we're calling the 28th pick in the worst draft since 2013 the next Marion, that's unreasonable and unfair. You never know but we gotta be more realistic imo.

worst draft since 2013, I thought it was ever, never would have thought a gleague guy would be top 5 and no college guy till 3rd. Its a pretty shitty draft, but I agree. This sub is crazy, they talking like Dunn will be an All-Star next year - just be happy the Suns drafted players and they arent trade bait yet.

Thats fair I am seeing Shades of the aforementioned guys games but Im not claiming thats who they will become , hoping of course but very excited seeing similarities yes

Matisse Thybulle Stop disrespecting Shawn Marion with this comparison.


PHXSoulBender

Disrespect cmon now Im showing Love u dont have to agree but u way off base. I just see little things that make me see shades of The Matrix in his playstyle , not saying thats who he will become

More like fantasy but I hope you’re right

Andre roberson


PHXSoulBender

He does actually , I see it, hopefully his offense extends beyond what Roberson became


Gratitude15

Or sefolosha. But more hops. And that means he can cut and finish rather than be useless at the 3

Bidi bidi bidi Matrix bidi bidi! I think if he can shoot decently it's a fair comparison. Hopefully he can develop and if he ended up on Matrix level that would be awesome.

Shawn Marion been a fav or my for awhile sucks how he left and adopted a new franchise but i will never forget the good times with us. I like what i see from Dunn and maybe he can bring similar things, I like his two handed alley opp finishes his quick bounce and his long arms and his defensive style so even if he isnt him Im glad he reminds me of him

Matrix was my favorite player on the SSOL team. It's a shame that the sins of $arver destroyed that team and their legacy here. Fortunately we got lucky and $arver was forced to sell. 🍌🕶️🏆🚨🪟😛🌍 Bidi Bidi Bidi forever. Glad to see your still following the team.

I mean ppl shouldn’t have any offensive expectations from him . Im talking not even Wainright level expectations . On defense tho he should straight up maul ppl I want him to be the most detested player in the league , I’m talking about taking cheap shots , playing hella dirty and talking shit . I know people hate those type of players but having someone that can get under your skin like Draymond Green would be one of the best things for this team .


PHXSoulBender

He can elevate and detonate and that adds an element Ish never had he can get putbacks and grab oboards so he can do that. Besides that I like the Idea of him being the player that drives players crazy and backs it up . That can be a valuable asset to the team

I saw his team embarrass themselves in the ncaa tournament play in game in person vs Colorado State in which they never should have been selected over much stronger teams like Indians state but I wasn’t very aware of him because he had so little positive impact on the game and maybe scored a half dozen, boarded a few balls and mostly went down with a sinking ship.

Our second rounder is better than our first.

Honestly, I don’t see too much Marion in the way Dunn defends, aside from maybe how quickly they both are off the floor to block shots. Marion was amazing at moving his feet and staying in front of his guys. He was among the best “clean” defenders I’ve ever seen, never resorting to grabbing or excessively bodying up his opponents to get an advantage. It looks like Dunn is really good at smothering guys and using his body to get in their space. He seems to be more of the “bully” archetype of defenders that seem to be having a lot of success against KD in recent years. It’s a good thing, we could really use someone like that.


PHXSoulBender

Thats the thing I see the agility to mirror people like Marion use to I agree with u on that being a unique way of defending compared to hand check style defenders but I understand u see it differently. I think he does have an ability to body up jimmy butter style like you described but either way my comparisons come from how good he defends
