EDGE Analysis

Atlanta likely didn't have to think too hard about keeping Hunter aboard for a fourth season after he took a big step forward in terms of production in his second season in 2020-21 until he suffered a meniscus injury in February. He appeared in 23 games in total, averaging 15.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 29.5 minutes per contest.
