EDGE Analysis

Hunter was the second-leading scorer for the Hawks on Friday behind All-Star point guard Trae Young (38). Hunter had a subpar shooting effort during Wednesday's win over the Nets, but the 2019 first-round pick was more efficient against Charlotte and connected on all eight of his free-throw attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter started in 37 of his 57 regular-season appearances for Atlanta last season. While Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to be the team's starting small forward once the regular season rolls around, Hunter will get the first starting nod to begin the preseason.
