Cleveland's head coach, Kenny Atkinson, talked to reporters on Sunday and revealed how Hunter will help the Cavaliers win. It all starts on the defensive end with Hunter. His perimeter defense has been elite since he was drafted in 2019, and it's one of the biggest needs on the Cavaliers roster.

Acquired from the Hawks on Thursday in a trade for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, three second-round picks and a pair of pick swaps, Hunter spent the last few days trying to get acclimated to his new surroundings.
