TNT analyst Stan Van Gundy commended De’Andre Hunter’s defense vs. Luka Doncic

Former head coach and current NBA on TNT analyst Stan Van Gundy commends Atlanta Hawks forward De’Andre Hunter. 

Live on air, the 62-year-old mentor praised the young wingman for an outstanding job in defending Dallas Mavericks super phenom, Luka Doncic, in a marquee youth showdown within the State Farm Center. 

As per ESPN Stats Info, Hunter held the Mavs to an inconsistent 1-of-13 shooting when he was the primary defender, notably 1-of-9 against Doncic. The Slovenian sensation even acknowledged the superb defensive repertoire of the 23-year-old Philadelphia native right at the post game press conference. 

Atlanta demolished Dallas recently, 113-87, as star point guard Trae Young tallied 19 markers and 14 assists. Both squads are set for a regular season rematch next year on February 21.
