Contract Value Index (CVI)
De'Andre Hunter's contract with the Sacramento Kings grades out as a fair market value contract, earning a C- CVI grade. At $24.1M per year over 2 years, this is a mid-tier contract. De'Andre's deal falls in the mid-tier tier for NBA Small Forwards. At 28 years old, De'Andre is in or near prime years, which supports the investment. This deal represents roughly fair market value — neither a steal nor an overpay. The deal will need consistent performance to grade out as a positive move long-term.
Performance Analysis
De'Andre Hunter earns a C Performance grade, reflecting average production for a Small Forward. Across 372 career games, De'Andre has averaged 14.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. De'Andre's strongest metric is FG% at 4473.4, compared to the NBA Small Forward median of 46.0. The biggest area for improvement is APG at 1.6, below the Small Forward median of 4.0. Among 118 NBA Small Forwards graded this season, De'Andre ranks 40th in overall performance. De'Andre will need to elevate key areas of the game to justify a larger role with the Sacramento Kings.
Current Sentiment
Hunter's season-ending eye surgery has shifted narrative from disappointment to concern about his health and future availability. C-grade performance before injury fueled doubts about his impact and consistency on court. At $24.1M annually, he's increasingly viewed as an overpaid rotation piece rather than reliable starter. Third major surgery for Kings epitomizes franchise's injury crisis; Hunter becomes symbol of bad luck. Fans express frustration, not optimism—questions linger about his durability, role, and contract justification going forward.
