In the first quarter of an Oct. 8 contest against the Detroit Pistons, Dunn blocked a Cunningham shot near the rim and grabbed the rebound. He took off down court, eyes up, looking for teammates. By the time he crossed mid-court, Dunn knew what he wanted to do. He pulled up from 26 feet and splashed a transition 3.

What is less surprising is that his athleticism and defensive prowess has so far translated very well to the NBA, but the three-point shooting is the headliner. These aren't just wide-open catch-and-shoot corner threes either.

Dunn was 6-for-11 from 3-point range, nearly matching his total of makes from a 7-for-35 mark last year at Virginia. He’s now 12-for-27 (44.4%) in the preseason after a 12-of-51 (23.5%) collegiate career across 65 games. Ryan Dunn made 6 threes tonight in the Suns preseason game against the Nuggets.
