Re: the Hunter option

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hunter looked very good. Excellent fearless rebounding not afraid to mix up
the shoving and pushing. Blocked out well and has a sense of when to go back
to the hoop or move it out. Good passing skills. This guy handled the ball a
lot in heavy traffic and had *NO* turn overs. He runs well and with out
panic. With the refs looking closely at rookies he had only 3 fouls in his
battles. You could tell he was proud of himself and relieved when he
approached the bench during time outs. Like a weight was off his shoulders.
I give him credit for staying in shape and focused during his pine stay most
of the season.

> I'm not surprised at what Hunter did.  "It's not Summer League," quoth
coach O'Brien.  No, it's not but Hunter played a full game and performed
just like it was summer league.  I would like to know if Ainge told the new
coach to play Hunter.  For some reason he did and now it screams out for an
explanation of why he wasn't played like this as early as December.  What
were they thinking?
