CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 SPORTS) -- It was certainly worth the wait for former Virginia guard Ryan Dunn. 

The former Cavalier standout was selected 28th overall by the Denver Nuggets, but the pick will be traded to the Phoenix Suns. 

Dunn is the 10th Virginia player selected in the NBA Draft since 2012, joining Mike Scott (2012), Joe Harris (2014), Justin Anderson (2015), Malcolm Brogdon (2016), Devon Hall (2018), De’Andre Hunter (2019), Ty Jerome (2019), Kyle Guy (2019) and Trey Murphy III (2021).

The 6-8 forward averaged 8.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocked shots and 1.3 steals en route to All-ACC honorable mention honors last season. Dunn was named to the All-ACC Defensive team after leading the league in blocked shots and tallied a team-high five double-doubles.
