2015 NBA Draft: R.J. Hunter (SG; Jr; Georgia State)

6. RJ Hunter CLE
Latest Rumors
Shooting Guard / 6-5 / Georgia State / Junior 19.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.6 apg

Hunter struggled for much of the season with his three-point shot. He was billed by many scouts as the top shooter in college after such an impressive sophomore year and his shooting displays in practices. The issue holding him back appears to be getting quality looks, which may be attributed to a lack of strength and foot speed. While he also struggled in the tournament with his shot, he hit the one that counted, knocking out Baylor and advancing Georgia State. His heroics have elevated his stock to being a likely late first rounder. Playing alongside a quality point guard at the NBA level will make Hunter infinitely more effective.
