Othello Hunter 6-8 220 PF Ohio St. Sr. --
11.3 ppg, 60% fg, 7.3 rpg

Despite a very productive week in the boxscores, Hunter did not make a great impression with his skill level. His shots came mostly on put backs and shots around the basket and lacked a high degree of skill. He's a high flyer and should get drafted based on his ability to rebound and defend and his raw athletic ability. But at times he appeared stiff and does not show much in the way of offensive skills or feel for the game. He's strictly a role guy as an energy four man, and is effective playing within his skill set.
