De’Andre Hunter had a solid rookie season for the Atlanta Hawks, and while it may not be over, let’s look at whether or not he justified the fourth pick.

The Atlanta Hawks appear to be on the upswing due to their mass of young talent. Part of their young core includes former fourth overall pick, De’Andre Hunter. While De’Andre Hunter has certainly been a solid player for the Hawks thus far, he hasn’t entirely lived up to the expectations that come with being a fourth overall selection.

There appears to be a lot of great players that have come out of the 2019 NBA draft, most notably, Zion Williamson and Ja Morant.
