Hunter (2.03 meters, 27 years old) comes to Metropolitans after starring last season for Virtus Segafredo Bologna and originally signing a contract extension with the club last month. Virtus, however, shortly thereafter terminated the contract with Hunter, who was honored as the 7DAYS EuroCup Top 16 MVP, and selected to the All-EuroCup Second Team last season. Hunter posted 9.8 points on 62.9% two-point shooting over the course of the last season, and finished it as Virtus' leading rebounder with 4.6 boards per game, and also averaged 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals. In the Italian League, he averaged 8.6 points and 4.2 rebounds, helping Virtus sweep its way to the league crown. Hunter began his professional career with Reno in the G-League. He played briefly for Panathinaikos OPAP Athens, where he made his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut in 2016. Hunter has also played for Avtodor Saratov in Russia, Memphis in the NBA and Memphis's G-League affiliate in the same city. He also played for AEK Athens in Greece, team he helped win the Basketball Champions League crown in 2018.
