The Pelicans signed Clemson s sixth backcourt with a two-way contract. Is he extremely mature?

Chase Hunter, a major sixth backcourt player who previously played for NCAA team Clemson, announced on his personal social media that he had completed the signing with the New Orleans Pelicans, and he received a two-way contract from the Pelicans.

Hunter was born in April 2001 and is 24 years old. He is 193cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is a backcourt player with excellent scoring skills and good shooting skills. According to the physical test data from the G League Elite Training Camp, Hunter's bare feet are 191.1cm tall, his wingspan is 204.5cm, his standing height is 250.2cm, and his weight is 92.2kg. In the NCAA game this season, Hunter made a total of 34 appearances for Clemson, 33 of which were the starters, with averaging 33.5 minutes per game, with averaging 16.5 points, 3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, 2 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 86.6%. Hunter was shortlisted for the ACC League All-Squad Team 1 and the Best Championship Team 2, and was also invited to participate in the G League Elite Training Camp, which also shows that his performance has been widely recognized.

From the perspective of characteristics, Hunter has quite good scoring and shooting ability. He can use various methods to complete scoring on the offensive end, and his stability in outside shooting has improved significantly this season. Hunter also has certain passing ability and organizational ability, and he is also a relatively reliable defender on the defensive end. However, Hunter is really too old, even older than many players who have played in the NBA for several seasons. Not only that, Hunter's figure is closer to a No. 1 player, but his style of playing is indeed closer to a wing player. When it comes to the NBA, it is still a huge question whether Hunter can maintain such a level of performance when facing taller, stronger and more athletic players.

Of course, Hunter is obviously a very mature player, and he is also able to take on more responsibilities on both offense and defense. Such a player is also very ideal as a candidate for a two-way contract. For the Pelicans, being able to sign a player like Hunter with a two-way contract after the draft is also a good choice. Next, Hunter will also represent the Pelicans in the NBA Summer League, and he also needs to stabilize this hard-won two-way contract for himself through his performance in the Summer League. I don’t know how Hunter will perform next. Can we see him in the NBA next season?
