The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled relative to this season’s expectations, and Cavs fans are getting frustrated with the inconsistent play of De’Andre Hunter.
Hunter was drafted fourth overall in the 2019 draft to be the star wing alongside Trae Young. He is the prototypical two-way forward at 6’7 with a 7’2 wingspan and a surprisingly strong frame, and he was the star of the 2019 Virginia team that won a National Championship. He had the tools and had proven himself a winner. The Hawks would have been fools to let him pass in the draft.
Unfortunately for Atlanta, Hunter never developed into the player we all thought he could be.
