Salaün's defense has been phenomenal with the physical tools and understanding to guard opponents' best players.

“We have a bunch of scoring and guys that are going to get a lot of field goal attempts. And so the defensive impact that he's had has been phenomenal. He wants to guard the best players on the other team. He's now got the physical abilities and understanding of how to guard those best players, which is really good.”

Salaün has matured beyond seeking scoring opportunities to become an elite connector impacting games multiple ways.

“He's impressed me with his ability to understand what it means to be an elite connector. Just when you're young and you're trying to find your way and find your identity, you latch on to, I've got to score and show everybody that I can play. And I think he's just seen that there's so many more ways for him to impact the game.”

Phoenix will keep running a deep rotation through a dense stretch of its schedule.

Dunn impressed Goodwin with his response this year and their pairing is syncing up.

“He doing a great job... the way he responded this year and he had a good summer too but the way he responded is very impressive. I know me and him we kind of do a lot of the same things and us being out there together and us being on the same page together is getting kind of scary. I think we got a stop today. We did our handshake and it was like okay me and you up here picking up full court.”
