Rocky Mountain Revue Day One
by: Matt Kamalsky
July 19, 2008
-Othello Hunter provided the highlight of the day, getting a huge block from the weakside, bringing the ball up the floor, and throwing down a give and go alley oop from way above the rim. Hunter looked good today overall, playing within himself and not forcing anything.

Othello has a nice 2nd game against KK

The Hawks orchestrated a 16-6 run in the third quarter that gave them a 12-point lead behind the strong play of Acie Law and Othello Hunter, who finished with 17 and 19 points, respectively.

Acie Law IV and Othello Hunter provided the 1-2 punch tonight. Acie found the range on his jump shot, going for a game-high 19 points on 5-11 shooting from the field and 7-7 shooting from the charity stripe. Law also had three steals on the night. Hunter continued to provide a strong presence inside the paint for the Hawks. He came two rebounds shy of a double-double with 19 points and eight boards. If he continues this type of play the undersized Hawks will be bringing him back for training camp.

Hunter has been consistently beastly ever since the NIT Championship game. I don't really know how it works for players like Hunter and Butler if they aren't drafted right out of college, so is there a possibility that he could be playing in the NBA this season?

Sure there is a chance that Hunter will be played in the NBA next year. He is playing in the summer league for an NBA team and is showcasing his talent for the rest of the teams in the NBA.
The Cavs #1 draft choice, J.J. Hickson, played in the summer league as did many other drafted players.
Butler signed with a European team and will replaying over there this year. If Hunter does not make a NBA roster, he might play in the NBA Developmental League or sign with a European team.

Othello solid all three games at the Rocky Mountain Revue...
Rocky Mountain Revue Day Three

Good news for the Hawks outside of just the win is that Othello Hunter is starting to look like the best player to go undrafted. He was solid again tonight with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

-- Othello Hunter, who wasn?t getting much run with the Charlotte Bobcats in the Las Vegas summer league, left the team to join the Atlanta Hawks in the Rocky Mountain Revue. Good move. Hunter had 19 points (including an NBA three-pointer), eight rebounds, four steals, three assists and a blocked shot in his second game with the Hawks and ?did a ton of damage in transition,? according to DraftExpress.com. ?The Ohio State graduate runs the floor as well as any power forward around, and finishes everything with a dunk. . . . Hunter has so many raw tools that he?ll be one of the most interesting undrafted players to monitor from this class.?

Hunter signing with Hawks
I just got off the telephone with Othello Hunter?s agent, David Lee, who told me he expected Hunter to sign a contract with the Atlanta Hawks today that will put Hunter in the Hawks? preseason training camp and guarantee him half the NBA rookie minimum salary even if he is waived. If Hunter is on the roster Dec.15, Lee said, he gets the full rookie minimum of $442,114.
