Brad Stevens excited to have R. J. Hunter back in the fold
We now have R. J. Hunter back on a two-way contract, and most of his time will be spent with the G-League Maine red Claws. Hunter was drafted by the Celtics at #28 in the first round of the 2015 draft. R. J. was waived by Boston in 2016 and has drifted to several teams, most of them of the G-League variety.
Brad: “One of the toughest things that I've been a part of over last 6 years was when we had those 16 guaranteed contracts ... and we had to make a decision on one, and we ultimately had to waive RJ. Because we thought he was a high-upside player that had really gotten better.”
