Hunter enters the ball into Jackson-Davis near the left low block:

Here comes a ton of defense at Jackson-Davis. Charlie Easley rotates over from the weak side to throw a hard double on the freshman, leaving Armaan Franklin with space in the right corner. But that’s a tough pass for Jackson-Davis. Haanif Cheatham has also sunk down off Hunter to give attention to Jackson-Davis. Hunter starts moving right along the perimeter:

With Cheatham trying to play inbetween, Jackson-Davis dribbles out a bit and throws a hard pass to Hunter, who continues on the move away from Cheatham:

Hunter catches with a ton of space. Cheatham comes on the close out. Hunter has a rotation from Phinisee to Franklin down in the corner, but he opts to catch and square:
