My guess is that after this year, the Celts will start to commit serious
attention to the international scouting angle.  It's likely that a few key
people dropped the ball a bit given the shift in power just weeks before the
draft.  Everything I've seen about Hunter suggests that he was a solid
second-rounder, and might bring some needed toughness under the boards off
the bench.  Time will tell, as it will with all these guys.  I don't think,
however, that Hunter is another Kris Clack.  But I guess we'll see fairly
soon.  I hope he and Banks light up the summer league.  It'll make a lot of
people way more comfortable, particularly if Perkins can at least look
competent.
