Hi all,
From the depth chart and MPG projections, appears that Hunter is expected to start off the bench.
Any thoughts on this changing?
Was thinking more that Hunter starts at SF and logs a good 28-30MPG along side of Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, John Collins, Alex Len.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
My money is that Hunter is the day one starter there. Similar to how they traded up for Trae Young, the Hawks were aggresive to get this guy, who was touted as an NBA-ready defensive stopper on the wing. They need his defense and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to hit that 28 minute mark early.
The only real competition he could have for the starting spot is DeAndre' Bembry, but I haven't read anything to suggest that he's being looked at there.
Thanks Alan! Hopefully he does start!
