16/5/2 blocks in like 14 minutes!!!! He is a FA this summer. He just played the best game of his career. We already wanted him, if he plays well this whole playoffs, it may drive his price out of our reach. But way obviously could really use a guy like him as raw as he is. Think of him as Dalembert lite, mainly because he is not as big, or as much of a presence on D.

this is a realistic avenue to pursue. I would offer something close to the full MLE. I would like to leave enough to lock up Ariza and/or Butler if possible, but Hunter's a guy thats been on the radar.

Certainly better, more athletic and more upside than a guy like Jerome James but I would only give him big money if he was last and onl option at center. Most of these centers stats are inflated because they plsy under 20mins and when they play over 20 their true colors are exposed ALA Nazr but I like this guy a lot more because he can block more shots and finish with explosive dunks but can't rebound as well.

I would like to grab Hunter and Draft Taft as there are really no true centers in the draft (Bogut is a non traditional Brad Miller type and Petro is a semi-project.) Although Petro may be a better investment in the long term only because he may be able to be a championship tam starting center, whereas I see Hunter as a great defense off the bench guy.
