The Pistons have added Feron Hunt on a training camp contract, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith tweets. Detroit had an opening on its camp roster.
The SMU product appeared in two games with the Knicks as a rookie in 2021/22. Otherwise, Hunt has mainly spent his pro career in the G League with a stop in Montenegro along the way.
Last season, Hunt logged 32 regular-season games with the Cleveland Charge, posting averages of 18.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 blocks in 35.2 minutes per game. Overall, he played 48 games for the Charge, averaging 15.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks.
Hunt, a 6’8” forward, also played for the G League Ignite squad in the Intercontinental Cup last month.
It’s safe to assume Hunt will be waived with the intent of joining Detroit’s G League club, the Motor City Cruise. Assuming he signed an Exhibit 10 deal, Hunt will be eligible for a bonus up to $85,300 if he stays with that team for at least 60 days.
