3 years agoAtlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. This is good news, primarily after Hunter was such a valuable piece in helping the team advance beyond its first-round postseason matchup against the Knicks by posting a 100.3 defensive rating. The 23-year-old sophomore appeared sparingly during the 2021 campaign before going down with a meniscus tear in his right knee, so hopefully, he can take on a full workload moving ahead once he has healed completely. DFS managers should continue to expect Solomon Hill to start in his place until the end of the Hawks' playoff run, although he doesn't offer much of a fantasy upside.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
