o first round picks. It seemed like it was going to be just one of a few moves that the Hawks had to make this offseason, but it is the only one they have up to this point. Atlanta has been adding size and length on defense to better surround Trae Young and they might not be done., and the recently acquired Nance. The Hawks are under the tax as of right now, but they could look to clear more space if a move makes sense.
Two teams who fit that description stand out. The Pistons and the Jazz are two teams that have cap space and might be interested in taking on Hunter. I think it might be worth the gamble for the Pistons, who need shooters who can space the floor and while he is inconsistent, Hunter would instantly become one of the better shooters in Detroit, while giving them another wing player.
Because of the Hawks's poor roster construction since drafting Young, Hunter has had to be relied upon as the only above-average wing defender with athleticism and size. While he might not be the best player on the Hawks, you could have made the argument that he was one of the most important players on the team, aside from Young.
