Unlike Terry Rozier and Jordan Mickey last season, R.J. Hunter cracked the rotation right away. He appeared in six of the first 10 games and played at least 10 minutes in 10 games over the Celtics first 30 contests.
Hunter only scored in double-digits once during the first 30 games, though. He also saw a stretch of four games in which he saw 18.3 minutes per game but only averaged 5.5 points per game on 38.1 percent shooting from the field and 28.6 percent shooting from three.
It was a rough start to his NBA career, and it dropped him out of the rotation until the playoffs.
