Kings' De'Andre Hunter: Struggles in team debut
Hunter produced nine points (3-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 loss to the Grizzlies.
Hunter failed to impress during his Sacramento debut, continuing what had been a rough finish to his tenure in Cleveland. After the Cavaliers moved him to a bench role in mid-December, Hunter averaged 12.3 points (on 41.6 percent shooting from the field), 4.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 23.4 minutes per game over a stretch of 20 contests before he was dealt to Sacramento. Hunter immediately moved into the starting five for the Kings and took on more minutes than he had been receiving with the Cavaliers, but he showed why his overall fantasy impact in category leagues remains limited when his shots aren't falling in. Though his value should rise with the move to Sacramento, Hunter still looks to be more of a streaming option for points, free-throw percentage and three-pointers in most 12-team leagues rather than a must-roster player.
