2022 Fantasy Outlook
Expectations were relatively high for Hunter last season after coming off a promising 2020-21 season that was cut short (23 games) by injury. However, Hunter failed to meet those expectations, and his numbers decreased across the board. Over 29.8 minutes, the forward averaged 13.4 points on 44/38/77 shooting, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. The most encouraging part of his campaign was his career-high efficiency from beyond the arc, though it came on reduced volume. He didn't even hold much value in deep leagues, ranking 231st in per-game fantasy production. The No. 4 overall pick in 2019 has flashed as a three-and-D option, but it's not translating to fantasy production. Some of his fantasy struggles relate to the low usage rate brought on by the ball-dominant ways of Trae Young, and the Hawks have a potent offense outside of Young as well, meaning Hunter can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. That may be the case again this year, with Atlanta trading for Dejounte Murray to bolster the roster. It's understandable if fantasy managers want to take a flier on Hunter, given his age (24 years old), but he'll need to make massive strides to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

De'Andre Hunter is the son of Priscilla Hunter. He was born in 1997 in the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. Hunter has one brother and two sisters. The defensive stalwart attended Friends' Central School in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. As a junior, he averaged 21.6 points, 11.0 boards and 5.0 dimes per contest, which led to Pennsylvania Class AA Player of the Year honors. During his senior season, his numbers improved to 23.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. That production led to Pennsylvania Class AA Player of the Year and First-Team All-State AA honors. Off the court, Hunter has volunteered for the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge and Aids Fund. Fans can follow Hunter on Twitter and Instagram via @drehunter. As a freshman in 2017-18, Hunter was arguably Virginia's best player, but missed the NCAA Tournament with a wrist injury. The Cavaliers became the first one-seed to lose in the NCAA Tournament to UMBC. Coach Tony Bennett's team came back in Hunter's sophomore season with a steely resolve and the 6-8 forward helped the squad to the National Championship. He was second on the team with 15.2 points and 5.1 rebounds. The forward converted 52.0 percent of his field goals and 43.8 percent from beyond the arc. He provided 20 points or more in 10 games, but saved his best game for last. In the national championship game against Texas Tech, Hunter led the Cavaliers with a season-high 27 points and played staunch defense against Red Raider guard Jarrett Culver. He added nine rebounds and hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 12.9 seconds remaining in regulation. Hunter led the mass exodus from the National Champions by declaring for the 2019 NBA Draft after two seasons in Charlottesville. He was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers with the fourth overall pick but was dealed to both the New Orleans Pelicans and the Atlanta Hawks before the start of the 2019-20 NBA season.

Efficient shooting in Game 4 loss
FAtlanta Hawks
April 24, 2023
Hunter amassed 27 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Hunter scored his most points of the opening-round series thanks to an efficient shooting night and finished second on the team in scoring behind Trae Young (35). The Virginia product also grabbed seven boards, tying him for second on the team with Clint Capela. Through four playoff matchups versus Boston, Hunter has averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 35.8 minutes per game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Temper performance expectations?
FAtlanta Hawks
December 8, 2022
Hunter, currently working through a hip injury, is shooting 35.4 percent from beyond the arc through 21 contests, slightly below his career clip of 35.8 percent. He's also getting to the rim for a career-low 23.5 percent of his shot attempts, via CleaningTheGlass.
ANALYSIS
Hunter's lack of progression from beyond the arc coupled with lessened high-percentage looks at the rim makes for a concerning pairing. He continues to be an above-average scorer in the midrange, but failing to impress in the two aforementioned offensive components will greatly limit his effectiveness. As a team, Atlanta ranks 26th in effective field-goal percentage this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Hunter was on his way to being one of the best steals of 2020 fantasy drafts, but he suffered a knee injury Jan. 29 that kept him out nearly for the rest of the season. The sophomore forward ended up playing just 23 games, but he made major strides. Before the injury, he saw 33.4 minutes per game and averaged 17.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 combined steals-plus-blocks. His shot was excellent, as he went 52/38/89. Leading up to his injury, he ranked as the 50th-best player in fantasy on a per-game basis. Hunter is expected to be ready for training camp, and he'll be a great selection in drafts this season for informed fantasy managers. He could easily slip in drafts due to lack of name recognition and the significant injury, but considering how well he was playing, there will be some managers targeting him as high as the fifth round. Hunter should open the 2021-22 season as Atlanta's starting small forward and see usage similar to what he was garnering before his injury.
The 2019 lottery pick enjoyed a solid rookie campaign, averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 dimes and 1.7 threes. He started all but one game and logged 32.0 minutes per contest, seeing immediate playing time for the Hawks. On the season, he provided eight games with 20 points, including a season-high 28 on Dec 10 against Miami. He also notched three double-doubles. Hunter's playing time and role is in jeopardy this season, however, as the Hawks signed Danilo Gallinari and Bogdan Bogdanovic to sizeable deals. Gallinari is expected to come off the bench, but Hunter will still be battling for playing time with him, Bogdanovic, Cam Reddish and Kevin Huerter. Hunter ranked just 197th in per-game production last season, so he should only be drafted as a flier in deep leagues this time around.
Hunter, selected by the Hawks with the fourth overall pick in the 2019 Draft, is arguably the most versatile defensive player in the rookie class, and he helped lead Virginia to a National Championship as a sophomore last season. He projects as a three-and-D forward who can be relied upon as a spot-up shooter and defend multiple positions, notably shooting 46-for-105 (43.8 percent) from three and averaging a combined 1.2 steals/blocks in 2018-19. Hunter figures to slot in as Atlanta's starting small forward, completing a young presumed lineup of Trae Young, Kevin Hurter, John Collins and Alex Len. Hunter doesn't have huge upside as a fantasy asset considering he was a low-usage player in college (10.4 FGA and 2.0 APG), but he has the potential to provide value in the three-pointers, rebounding and defensive categories.
