training camp fodder.

Wish these stupid reports would get that right. We invited him to camp. He has no chance to make the team. He might be able to do enough to get a chance to go up to Reno.

Hunter is a tenacious defender. He's a freak athlete but has little to no game offensively away from the basket. The only reason I see for the signing is his ability to defend multiple positions.
Hunger sounds like poor mans, very poor mans, Mbah a Moute. Really wish Luc Richard could have been healthy as obviously he filled need on Kings roster.

A player who can come in and get after SF's and Big Guards could come in handy. I would prefer a healthy Luc or Matt Barnes but Matt is signed elsewhere and Luc's wheels are coming off apparently.

It would be nice to have a real good wing defender.

Guaranteed part of contract is likely up through training camp and chance to evaluate him vs. team. Then likely off to Reno.

Hunter was projected as a late second round pick. He came out too early, but maybe Vlade found a diamond in the rough.

A future defensive specialist? If he could develop like a poor man's Ron Artest, I would be estatic.
