In his rookie campaign, Dunn appeared in 74 games, averaging 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game in 19.1 minutes per game. He was one of the few embodiments of heart and hustle this season and deserved this award without a doubt.

PJ Tucker is the franchise’s all-time leader, taking home the honors 4 times. Mikal Bridges is next in line with 3. Dunn should have a chance to give those two a run for their money by the time his Phoenix career is up.
The team put together this new video to pay homage to “Thunder Dan” while highlighting Dunn’s impressive rookie season.
Heart. Hustle. Determination.
