RJ Hunter just put up one of the worst preseasons ever for an exhibit 10 guy that actually got run. He was so bad in his first three games that he was not played in the fourth game.
Game 1 vs Heat: 3/1/0 on 1/7 FG, -9 in 7 minutes
Game 2 vs Wizards: 0/2/0 on 0/1 FG, -16 in 6 minutes
Game 3 vs Thunder: 0/2/0 on 0/3 FG, -8 in 6 minutes
Total: 3/5/0 on 1/11 FG, -33 in 19 minutes
Hunter single handedly lost the Hornets the game vs the Heat (109-113 loss). The Hornets were also beating the Wizards by 10 before the Hornets' preseason bench which includes Hunter came in and blew the game instantly (LaMelo was +17, Brandon Miller +13). r/CharlotteHornets has been so disgusted by his play but naturally since he was never making the roster and was just a guy brought in for the Greensboro Swarm nobody would notice except Hornets fans (and maybe Heat fans who watched him attempt to play hero ball and fail miserably).
Obviously these are really low sample size, I just find it amusing.
Shocking that RJ Hunter is still in the league. This dude wasn’t even good in the NBL.
the magic of being a first round pick. you have that aura around you where teams still think you might have some promise
Yeah, I think all over the league their is probably 2-3 guys on rosters that should be in the league anymore.
It’s actually kind of stunning how many first round busts then go on to struggle overseas.
