De’Andre Hunter is a pretty good player already. This game in particular I was getting serious Kevin Durant vibes from him. But what if you took Hunter and combined him, through some kind of illegal (or at least unethical) scientific experiment, with the similarly-last-named Kevin Huerter? You would end up with a superplayer named De’Andre Huenter.
This idea is better on paper than it is in real life. If you add all of Huerter’s skills to Hunter’s body, maybe he gets a little bit better at shooting, but that’s about it. Huerter, at this point in his career, doesn’t bring anything to the table other than his shooting, but Hunter is already a good enough shooter where he doesn’t need Huerter’s shooting talents added to his own.
So maybe the better option would be to take this new player, De’Andre Huenter, and do another mad-scientist experiment to fuse him with DeAndre’ Bembry. Bembry has some playmaking point-forward skills that would nicely compliment the scoring of Huenter. So now we have De’Andre’ Huentry, who is an unholy fusion of three Hawks players and is probably better than any one of them individually. The Hawks also get some extra roster spots out of the whole deal. Nice!
But De’Andre’ Huentry is still a bit of a disappointment. When you combine three players by sawing off limbs, doing skin grafts, and sticking bits of gray matter together with glue, you expect a truly world-changing player. Not just an ultra-role-player who has half a head of red dreads and has random bits of white skin stuck onto a mostly-black body. Maybe we should just combine Hunter with Durant (the uninjured parts of Durant) and LeBron (the non-bald parts of LeBron) and call it a day. Le’Andre Huntrant would be pretty awesome.
