RJ Hunter wasn’t the most talked about Rookie when we were going through the college season. I think once we saw him in the NCAA Tournament, we started to ask “Who is this?” and quickly realised that he has potential.
He looks like one of those players that’ll last very long in this league and will become a serviceable player wherever he goes. Celtics Head coach Brad Stevens can’t get enough of him.
“I think it’s pretty obvious, just watching him, he really has a feel,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters in Brooklyn. “It just comes pretty natural — little passes, simple plays, being able to put the ball on the money to other people, understanding spacing, understanding where his opportunities are going to come. And he’s got a pretty good feel for the game.”
“As he continues to make shots and feels more comfortable, he’s going to be better,” said Stevens. “Defensively, he’s way ahead of where I thought he would be. He’s just long and active.“
When you listen to Hunter during interviews, he sounds so humble. It’s just great to see.
This honestly gets me so hyped about Boston, they look so good for the future it’s crazy. I’ve said I’ll keep an eye on them and this only confirms that.
