De'Andre Hunter

On the rare occasions in which he wasn’t helping padlock the Minnesota Timberwolves’ offense, and forcing them into seven-minute-long, game-opening scoring droughts, De’Andre Hunter ensured that February 10, 2025’s highlight reel featured brilliance on both sides. Ironically only two weeks removed from putting together a career-best 35-point performance against Minnesota in a different uniform, Hunter tests his new fit in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ wine-and-gold, establishing camp along the far 3-point corner. Benefitting from a one-handed, across-the-floor dime that somehow creeps behind the rim and under the basket’s stanchion pole, Hunter rewards the heads-up play, cashing in a 3-pointer that helps maintain a sizable distance on the scoreboard. Positives could be found throughout Hunter’s debut in Cleveland, as he used a 23-minute appearance to collect 12 points, one rebound, one steal, and three 3-pointers. The Cavaliers rode that momentum to guide a third-straight win, moving them to 43-10 with the All-Star break rapidly approaching.
