This one’s obvious because Tennessee basketball is already in play for Tyrese Hunter. Coming out of Wisconsin and attending the Iowa State Cyclones for a year, Hunter emerged as a very reliable combo guard, one who could thrive in Rick Barnes’ system.
With the departure of Kennedy Chandler, the Vols need another point guard to complement Zakai Zeigler. B.J. Edwards could provide that along with Tyreke Key, but both of those guys are more combo guards. As a result, Hunter is the perfect addition for them, and since they are already in his top six, they have a great chance.
The graduate of St. Catherines High School in Racine, Wis., is a sophomore and averaged 11 points and five assist as a freshman. He also averaged two steals, so he’s a defensive specialist. Now, his shooting needs to improve, as he was 27.4 percent from three, 68.7 percent from the free throw line and 39.1 percent from the field in general.

More experience will help with that, and Barnes, who still values the midrange, could work with Key on finding his shot. The depth he would bring to Tennessee basketball at point guard, though, is what would truly make him a great pickup, so keep an eye on his decision.
