Summary:
Hunter Sallis is a very athletic, energetic combo guard that thrives at making hustle plays. He is a solid defender that can force turnovers and misses in games, and he excels at driving the ball to the hoop to score on offense.

He’ll still need to trust his jump shot more, but his athleticism and emerging skill set could enable him to be a second round pick in the 2024 draft.
