NBA Stock Watch: The Unexpected Stars Shattering Expectations This Season
NBA’s Most Improved Players So Far
De’Andre Hunter, Cleveland Cavaliers
Hunter is the perfect example of a player whose improvement might be overlooked because of a shooting slump.
His shooting percentage has cratered, but it’s entirely due to shooting 29.0% on 3-point attempts compared to 40.5% last year. His 2-point percentage has actually improved this year.
There is no reason to think Hunter won’t find his shooting touch again. He’s only 28, shot a combined 39.6% on 5.7 3-point attempts per game the last two seasons and is shooting just fine everywhere else (his free throw percentage is 85.7%).
