Hunter to the NBADL

Hawks assign Othello Hunter to D-League
February 17, 2009

The Atlanta Hawks today assigned forward Othello Hunter to the Anaheim Arsenal of the NBA Development League, according to Hawks Executive Vice President and General Manager Rick Sund.

A rookie from Ohio State, Hunter has averaged 0.6 ppg and 0.7 rpg (.429 FG%) in 10 games with the Hawks.

The Arsenal is the D-League affiliate of the Hawks, as well as the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kyle Lowry was traded from the Grizzlies today which means Mike Conley has no more competition in Memphis. And he's been play very well lately. I thought he'd come around eventually. He's just too damn quick not to.

The coaching change really helped him out. Since then like you said been playing really well.

Too bad the Blazers could not find a way to get him.

Got to give Othello Hunter some props. Got 23min last night(ATL played lots of bench) and had 8points, 6rebounds, 1assist, 1steal & 1block. Most time he has saw in his rookie season. Yes played against bench players but still nice for "O"!

With one game left for all teams(81GP) here are the Buckeyes stats

Buckeyes in the NBA:
Michael Redd(Bucks): 33GP 36.5MIN 21.2PPG 3.2RPG 2.7APG 1.1SPG 45% FG% 36% 3PT%
Daequan Cook(Heat): 74GP 24.4MIN 9.2PPG 2.5PRG 1.1APG 38%FG% 39%3PT%
Othello Hunter(Hawks) 15GP 4.3MIN 0.9PPG 1RPG .27BPG 54%FG%
Kosta Koufos(Jazz): 48GP 11.8MIN 4.7PPG 2.9RPG .60BPG 50% FG%
Greg Oden(Portland) 60GP 21.6MIN 8.8PPG 7RPG 1.1BPG 57%FG%
Mike Conley JR(Memphis): 81GP 30.4MIN 10.9PPG 4.3APG 3.3RPG 1.1SPG 44%FG% 41%3PT%

Notes from me:
Greg Oden And Michael Redd both injured and Redd season ended early. Oden still played in 75% of Portland games and had a solid rookie season.

Mike Conley JR went off late in the season. Playing really well and becoming a good PG in the NBA level.

Daequan Cook had a good season as the Heat 6th man. Also won the 3pt contest and has surprise a lot of Buckeye fans(myself) with his play in the NBA.

Kosta Koufos played and stayed with Jazz for some time but then was send to the NBDL late in the season.

Othello Hunter although he didn't play a lot and get many minuets. Was up with the Hawks for all year but like a week!! Very nice for Hunter even though he sat on the bench. Still very impressive from him. made a nice $442,114 this year. Go "O"!!!!

Talking about NBDL:
Ivan Harris played there.
Ivan Harris: 50games 50GS 15.7PPG 5.1RPG 49% FG% 43 3PT%. There was talk that the Cavs and 76ers both thought about signing him to a 10 day NBA contract but never did. Team is now in the playoffs in the league and in one game he had: 18points 7rebounds
Kosta Koufos: 10games 16.7PPG 8.4RPG
Othello Hunter: Played in 3 games 8.3PPG 10RPG
