3. De’Andre Hunter

Everybody knew De’Andre Hunter would get selected in the top-10 in the NBA Draft. He is a reliable scorer, can play both forward positions and approaches elite status on the defensive end.

After leading the Virginia Cavaliers to the NCAA championship in April, envisioning a mock draft where he wouldn’t be selected with a top-five pick seems inconceivable.

During that game, Hunter started off 0-for-7 and many people thought he would not deliver at the time when it most mattered. But he simply went off in the second half, scoring 22 points to finish with a career-high of 27 when all was said and done.

Hunter has a 7’2” wingspan, making him the perfect player to pair up with Mitchell Robinson and possibly Kevin Durant in the frontcourt.
