The signing of the 29-year-old player, considered to be in his prime, is pending the finalization of paperwork. Unicaja will pay Joventut his release clause, taking advantage of the current market to acquire a player of his caliber at a competitive price. Hunt is expected to sign a significant contract, lasting at least two seasons, and will play an important role within the team.
The Malaga entity has gathered very positive reports on the player, highlighting his work ethic and his conduct with teammates. His adaptation to the league and the team is anticipated to be smooth, as Hunt is already familiar with the competition and many of his rivals. Despite potentially receiving EuroLeague offers, the player views Malaga as a crucial step in his professional progression, underscoring Unicaja's ability to attract top-tier talent.
Cameron Hunt was a standout performer in the recent BCL Round of 16 game between Joventut and Unicaja, where his contribution proved decisive. He is a left-handed shooting guard with good ball-handling skills, passing ability, and a reliable outside shot, despite his distinctive shooting mechanics. After playing in Germany for Wurzburg and averaging 13.5 points in Manresa, he has averaged over 15 points per game with Joventut, sharing the spotlight with other experienced players.
Unicaja believes Hunt's playing style will perfectly complement the coach's strategy, providing an autonomous and dependable offensive option. This move is set to be Unicaja's second signing for the 2026-27 season, following the arrival of Melwin Pantzar.
