According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, former Boston Celtics first-round draft pick R.J. Hunter is joining the Charlotte Hornets for the upcoming season. Hunter came into the league as the 28th pick in the 2015 NBA draft and had a reputation as a high-level perimeter scorer who could shoot off the catch and the dribble. At the time, the rebuilding Celtics needed additional three-point shooting, leading to high expectations for the Georgia State product.
Unfortunately, Hunter’s game never fit with the Celtics system, and the floor spacing guard found himself joining the Chicago Bulls in the following season.
