DaRon Holmes II, the standout forward from Dayton, has found a new NBA home after being selected by the Denver Nuggets in a Draft-night trade with the Phoenix Suns.

The trade involved the Nuggets receiving the draft rights to Holmes in exchange for the Suns acquiring Ryan Dunn, the 56th pick in the 2024 Draft, and future second-round selections.

Holmes, known for his scoring prowess and defensive presence, averaged impressive numbers during his college career at Dayton, showcasing his versatility on both ends of the court.

With the addition of Holmes, the Denver Nuggets aim to bolster their frontcourt rotation to complement the reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have added depth to their backcourt by acquiring Dunn, a promising young talent known for his defensive capabilities and athleticism.

Joining a Suns roster that features stars like Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, Dunn is expected to contribute immediately as a key reserve for the team.

DaRon Holmes II’s selection marks another milestone for the Atlantic 10 conference, which continues to produce top-tier NBA talent including previous standouts like Obi Toppin and Toumani Camara.

Having excelled at Dayton, Holmes now embarks on a new journey with the Denver Nuggets, prepared to make an impact at the professional level alongside seasoned NBA veterans.
