Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Nunn was born in 1995 to parents Melvin Nunn Jr. and Kimberly Harris in Chicago, Illinois. He attended high school at Simeon Career Academy in Chicago for four years, where his number (20) was retired after he led the school to four consecutive state titles. During his time at Simeon, Nunn shared the court with fellow future NBA player Jabari Parker. Nunn received scholarship offers as early as his freshman year and had one point even committed to Texas A&M, but he later de-committed and chose Illinois over the likes of Marquette, Memphis and Ohio State. He spent three years at Illinois before transferring to Oakland, where he finished his degree in Integrative Studies. Nunn has two sisters, Kendyl Nunn and Sarafina Benson. He also owns a marketing business called NunnBetter Group. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram (@nunnbetter_). Nunn spent three seasons with the University of Illinois before transferring to Oakland for his senior year. He saw starter-type minutes right out of the gates for the Illini, averaging 6.2 points on his way to making the all-Big Ten Freshman team. Nunn's scoring improved to 11.1 ppg his sophomore year and 15.5 ppg as a junior, and he chipped in 5.0 rebounds his junior year as well. He sat out the 2016-17 season as a transfer before taking the Horizon League by storm in his final year of eligibility. Nunn led the conference in scoring and three-pointers made, and was second in the entire nation to only Oklahoma's Trae Young in scoring. He was second in three-pointers made only to Wofford's Fletcher Magee. Nunn was not selected in the 2018 NBA Draft, but he was signed by the Warriors shortly thereafter.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Nunn's sophomore NBA campaign got off to a slow start, as he dealt with a groin injury in the preseason and saw sporadic playing time through January. After Goran Dragic went down with an ankle injury in early February, Nunn moved into the starting five and remained in that role for each of the final 42 games in which he played. All told, the 6-foot-2 guard's per-game numbers -- 14.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 0.6 steals -- closely resembled those he posted as a rookie. However, Nunn showed increased acumen as a shooter, boosting his field-goal and three-point accuracy to 48.5 percent and 38.1 percent, respectively. He also knocked down 93.3 percent of his free-throw attempts, though he got to the line only 60 times during the regular season. Nunn's productive two-year stint with Miami was particularly impressive considering that he joined the team as an undrafted free agent, but the Heat opted to part ways with him after acquiring Kyle Lowry in the offseason. Nunn reportedly turned down more lucrative offers for a chance to compete for a championship with the Lakers, though Los Angeles' moves to bring in Russell Westbrook as well as fellow guards Wayne Ellington and Malik Monk while retaining Talen Horton-Tucker could make for a logjam in the backcourt. Nunn should provide an injection of youth and shooting for a squad in need of both, but his move to a backup role doesn't help his fantasy outlook.
As an undrafted rookie, Nunn made an immediate and surprising impact for Miami and contributed majorly to the team's regular-season success. He finished third in scoring among rookies with 15.3 points per contest and tacked on 3.3 assists, 2.7 boards and 2.0 triples while earning All-Rookie first team honors. Nunn didn't struggle with shooting as many first-year players do, as he shot 43.9 percent from the floor, 85.0 percent from the free-throw line and 35.0 percent from downtown. Though he saw his role drastically scaled back in the playoffs, Nunn started every game in which he appeared in the regular season and logged a healthy 29.3 minutes per contest. The Oakland product provided 19 games with at least 20 points and two 30-point performances, including a 36-point eruption against Atlanta in December. His impressive rookie campaign came at the expense of a banged-up Goran Dragic, and Dragic, a free agent, is expected to be Miami's starting point guard in 2020-21 if he remains on the team. If Dragic signs elsewhere, Nunn could be in line for a starting gig once again, making him worth a later-round pick in most fantasy basketball leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for NBA return
GFree Agent
May 20, 2024
Nunn has not closed the door on a potential return to the NBA despite signing a two-year contract extension with Panathinaikos earlier this year, according to Vangelis Papadimitriou of Eurohoops.net.
ANALYSIS
Nunn is not ruling out an NBA return, and it seems he has structured his contract in a way that would allow him to return stateside if an opportunity arises. The contract includes NBA-out clauses that can be made valid under specific conditions. "I'll be honored to go back. You never know," Nunn said when asked about his chances of making an NBA return. Nunn was named to the All-EuroLeague First Team in his first season with Panathinaikos in 2023-24.
