Just eight months after leading Georgia State basketball team through a wild ride in the NCAA tournament, R.J. Hunter returned home Tuesday with his new job: Boston Celtics guard.
Though he has seen spotty floor time thus far — 11 minutes per game with five DNPs in the Celtics’ first 13 games — Hunter is growing into his role, backing up Isaiah Thomas and James Young at shooting guard. But he has already found that the life of a Celtic in Boston is a far cry from a GSU Panther in Atlanta.
Hour before the Celtics took on the Hawks on Tuesday night, Hunter answered some questions from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Helena Oliviero.
