Jan 24, 2015; Atlanta, GA, USA; Georgia State Panthers guard R.J. Hunter (22) is honored before the game after tying the all-time scoring record at Georgia State previously held by Rodney Hamilton, right, as coach Ron Hunter, R.J.
R.J. Hunter
There may have been some guys who looked like better shooters than R.J. Hunter in college last season, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t prove to be the pick of this year’s class when it comes to being a knockdown shooter as a professional.
The difference between good college shooters and good NBA shooters can often be their ability to adjust to range, and in that sense, Hunter should be completely undaunted.
Throughout his time with Georgia State, including his play in the NCAA Tournament, the 21-year-old showed the ability to knock down shots from well behind the arc and will have no problems with the NBA three-point line.
What Hunter may have difficulty with is the strength and size of NBA two guards, but if the Bucks want a lights out shooter to space the floor, they’ll have to give him strong consideration.
