Yeah, Hunter consistently dominated against lesser opponents.
He dominated a ton of really good opponents, too.
Usually he sleep walks the first half of the season though
He had 22 and 12 and then 31 and 7 the first two games last year.
I get there are frustrations with maybe how he came through in certain matchups, or the lack of flexibility gameplanning, but I also feel like people routinely took for granted how productive he could be offensively in 90% of matchups.
HD is going to ball out at Kansas. Let’s not kid ourselves. The face of our program left. There were just many who didn’t like that he was the face of our program, which is totally fair.
In a massive 5 point win against EMU
(just let me be petty!)
Yes, but the question is how that translates in a half dozen incredibly high-leverage situations this season.
He’s playing with a ton of really good players, he’s going to be productive, no doubt about that.
Isaiah Barnes has more points this season than the entire Michigan team combined. Let that sink in
It’s sunk in
Maybe I’m missing the “question“, but doesn’t the second statement you make mitigate that question a bit?
It does a bit – but the tradeoff with Dickinson is that you lose defensive flexibility, you lose a big part of “who you are” if he runs into a defensive scheme and player that can really stonewall him, and it can create issues.
I’m not surprised Hunter is playing well.
I’m surprised it was like 24-6 and Hunter had 15 and 3 and 3 with 3 threes already in the first ten minutes haha.
Notably he has been much quieter since (in a very good game overall still)
Him getting up a lot more 3’s would be surprising if I hadn’t seen their spacing in the ILL game
I’m surprised it was like 24-6 and Hunter had 15 and 3 and 3 with 3 threes already in the first ten minutes haha.
Getting punked by Illinois and then going off in the first game of the year is incredibly on script.
with 3 threes already in the first ten minutes haha.
This was really my only viewing interest, as I had the over at 0.5 3PM. I’ll take the over on that in every game this season for him.
Isaiah collier looks great
Probably the best freshman in the country this year, right?
If we were not playing an opponent with a big mashing center, Hunter was generally really really good. And there weren’t many of those guys.
