When Atlanta Hawks sophomore De’Andre Hunter was named to the Rising Stars game despite being out for a month with a knee injury, it was well deserved. Hunter has been incredible for the Hawks all season, having made a huge leap from his rookie year.

Hunter did not make the Rising Stars team last year. The only Hawks player to do so was Trae Young, who also was a starter in the main All-Star game. This shows that the NBA has respect for the work Hunter has put into his game and how it has improved over the shutdown and then the short offseason.
