It should not come as a surprise to Virginia fans that De’Andre Hunter is going to be widely coveted next summer by NBA teams. The soon-to-be redshirt second year had an impressive freshman campaign that saw him earn ACC Sixth Man of the Year and a spot on the conference All-Freshman team. For a short stint after Virginia’s season ended abruptly, there was talk of Hunter, who is recovering from a wrist injury that kept him from the NCAA tournament, potentially testing the waters in the draft.
Luckily for Coach Bennett and the Hoos, there’s at least one more year of Hunter in Charlottesville.
