The slick 6'3 Sierra Vista guard was making nice moves to the basket and hitting shots from the perimeter. Hunter also has some bounce to him, and he uses it to throw down slam dunks and to come down with rebounds. Look for him to make even more noise the rest of the summer and next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2806932"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684af77d07bf3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Previous rank #86</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2806932' first='Packer' last='Kelley'] has improved on both ends of the court recently.
