De'Andre Hunter has a Kawhi Leonard-type game. That’s not to suggest he will be the next Kawhi, but that’s Hunter’s archetype. Like Leonard, Hunter is extremely disciplined on both ends of the floor. He’s so patient and methodical on the offensive end that defenders have a hard time gauging his next move.
Although not extraordinarily fast, the 6-foot-7, 225-pounder has a knack for finding his sweet spots. He’s really good at rising up off the dribble and knocking down mid-range jumpers. Hunter can hit the 3-ball, too.
Even if he doesn’t blossom into a prolific scorer, Hunter should at minimum be a reliable defender at the next level. He showed at Virginia he can guard multiple positions.
