#2 De'Andre Hunter

Hunter is an uber-talented prospect out of the University of Virginia.
Hunter is an uber-talented prospect out of the University of Virginia.

The 21 year-old is the perfect rendition of a highly sought after two-way combo forward. He shot over 38% from the deep (on 55 three-point shots) along with a respectable 75% from the foul line, all of this while exhibiting promising defensive agility on the perimeter and in the paint.

With a scoring average of 15.2 points in 38 games at Virginia this year(on 52 percent from the field & 43.8 percent from beyond the arc), the Philadelphia native shows elite level movement off the ball and can beat the opponent off the dribble impressively. Hunter was named the ACC Defensive Player of the Year just this past season and is only the second player (along with Culver) that the Cavaliers are considering to pick as the No.5 overall pick.

He wasn't a volume three-point shooter but managed to space the floor effectively. Hunter will be the second oldest player to be included in the Top 20 of the draft board this year.
