As expected, the Suns took advantage of the first evening of the Draft to trade their 22nd pick. And as expected, they got a second round of Draft. In this case, the 56th choice. Obviously, we say to ourselves that it is to recover Bronny James except that it is not certain that he is still available since the Lakers have the… 55th choice!
Regardless, here are the details of the trade made with the Nuggets. Denver got the 22nd pick from the Sunsagainst the 28th and 56th choices of this Draft, and two future “second all” of the Draft.
With this 22nd choice, the Nuggets selected, as expected, Daron Holmes II, the pivot from Dayton. On the Suns side, we chose winger Ryan Dunn in 28th position. Coming out of Virginia, he is considered one of the best defenders of this 2024 vintage. This year, he averaged 8.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and above all 2.3 blocks and 1.3 interceptions per game. On the other hand, he is anything but a shooter with only 12 3-point baskets scored in two seasons for only 23.5% on long shots.
