Heh..I thought we discussed this already.
Hunter is a freak (in a good way)..long arms, good standing reach, huge
wingspan, and mad hops for a guy his weight. He is also taller then 6'6" without
shoes.
Look at this link:

I heard that his vertical measured at 38" at the Chicago predraft camp.
That's fairly amazing.
The guy was finishing over Vranes and the like. He seems limited offensively
but he can throw it down. Banks just drew the defender and fed him. Nothing
special..its just like what Tony Battie does. But it was kinda impressive for a
much shorter player to finish like Battie does.

This stuff about him being too short is crap, IMHO. He can certainly get up
alot higher then Walker and can finish much better. I would wager that he is
longer then Walker as well..though clearly he is shorter. The guy dominated
Sweetney...so I think he can play well.
I don't think he will get much playing time with Walker around though. Also
like Bremer I suspect he is a workout warrior... So he could slip alot if he
doesn't really focus on taking care of himself.
Either way the guy is a real find at 56, IMHO. Even if we just keep him
around to beat the hell out of Ron Artest. Heh. I would like to see him get a few
minutes behind
K. Brown at the thee spot depending on matchups.
E. Williams and Bremer on the trading block, I suspect.
I haven't heard DA say one positive thing about E. Will, and I think Bremer
will be gone with our move to a real offense. KA or Travis would be a big
improvement at the point though both are half court guys. I think Kenny will get
the nod...
