⛹ Ryan Dunn - Official Thread

I didn’t mean this as a negative on Dunn at all. In fact, I think if he were in the NBA this season, he could make 2nd team all defense if he could provide enough offense to not be so much of a liability that he could get enough playing time.

Just that I don’t think there’s a single person in the entire basketball world that truly has the ability to guard 1-5 in the NBA. No one playing the Sixers is both quick enough to stay in front of Tyrese Maxey and strong enough to keep up with Joel Embiid. Ben Simmons, when he was right in the head and before his back injuries, may have come the closest.

Dunn could absolutely murder the right opponent in a playoff series if he has a good coach. Look at what the Celtics did with Robert Williams against the Sixers. Put Williams on PJ Tucker and let him roam freely off Tucker to patrol the rim knowing Tucker wasn’t going to make them pay for that strategy by sneaking away and making open 3s. When the Sixers got smart and took out their non-shooters, Williams couldn’t match up with Embiid as well and he got benched too.
