Hunter will now join the Kings and will likely find his way either into the starting lineup or as a key contributor off the bench. His fantasy value is a little unknown at this point, but it's likely that he gets a boost given the state of the Kings' roster.
Hunter posted 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's victory over Los Angeles. He went a perfect 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.
