RJ Hunter just put up one of the worst preseasons ever for an exhibit 10 guy that actually got run. He was so bad in his first three games that he was not played in the fourth game.

Game 1 vs Heat: 3/1/0 on 1/7 FG, -9 in 7 minutes

Game 2 vs Wizards: 0/2/0 on 0/1 FG, -16 in 6 minutes

Game 3 vs Thunder: 0/2/0 on 0/3 FG, -8 in 6 minutes

Total: 3/5/0 on 1/11 FG, -33 in 19 minutes

Hunter single handedly lost the Hornets the game vs the Heat (109-113 loss). The Hornets were also beating the Wizards by 10 before the Hornets’ preseason bench which includes Hunter came in and blew the game instantly (LaMelo was +17, Brandon Miller +13). r/CharlotteHornets has been so disgusted by his play but naturally since he was never making the roster and was just a guy brought in for the Greensboro Swarm nobody would notice except Hornets fans (and maybe Heat fans who watched him attempt to play hero ball and fail miserably).

Obviously these are really low sample size, I just find it amusing.

    Hunter is one of those classic shooters that can’t shoot guys that looks the part, has the bloodlines, has the kind of size and had the kind of smoothness when he was young teams look for, but it never really added up on the floor, not even in college. He has small arms which I think has hurt him in terms of getting shots off clean. It doesn’t help he has little inside game…makes you predictable.
