CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In the final days before the 2019 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers will bring Virginia’s 6-foot-7 forward De’Andre Hunter to town for a workout and interview, sources told cleveland.com.
The specific day and time has not yet been finalized, but it is likely to take place either Monday or Tuesday. Hunter’s schedule combined with Cleveland’s will be the determining factor. The draft is Thursday, June 20, and the timing could allow Hunter to make a final impression.
Hunter, 21, was named ACC Defensive Player of Year this past season, helping lead Virginia to a national championship. In 38 games as a sophomore, he averaged 15.2 points on 52 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from 3-point range to go with 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Hunter, the ACC Sixth Man of the Year as a freshman, capped his college career with 27 points and nine rebounds against Jarrett Culver and Texas Tech in the title game.
