The Cavaliers have long been on the lookout for a large, versatile wing player, and they may have finally found the right fit in De’Andre Hunter, whom they acquired from Atlanta.
In his Cleveland debut on Monday against Miami, Hunter contributed 12 points in just 23 minutes of play, showcasing his potential and ability to make an immediate impact.
“I’m not coming here … trying to change anything,” Hunter told The Athletic’s Joe Vardon. “I’m just trying to add my skill set to what they already have. They had a need they felt needed to be addressed.
“I feel like, as someone who prides himself on defense and kind of going out there and (trying) to be a two-way player as best I can. So I think that could really help this team, especially at the small forward. But like I said, they were doing good without me.”
