17.5 PPG, 4.5 APG, 3.5 RPG, 2.0 SPG
After a rookie season where he played nine minutes per game, second-year guard Darren Hunter is off to a strong start in his first season as Timberwolves’ starting point guard. The Calgary product plays with a snarl to his game, and will be asked to play under control while pushing the pace against a tough Thunderbirds defense.
 

UBC Thunderbirds – 2021-2022 Record (16-2)
2nd in West Division Standings
87.8 Points Scored Per Game (3rd)

(Returning) Blocks Leader: Sukhman Sandhu (1.1 Per Game)

Player To Watch: Sukhman Sandhu, F
16.2 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 0.9 APG, 1.1 BPG
Standing six-foot-ten, Sandhu is an imposing figure on the court. Combine his length with his conference-leading 50% rate from the three-point line in 2021-2022, and you have a player that is circled on the scouting report. Coach Kevin Hanson will lean on the fifth-year to deliver at both ends of the court, creating space for guards like James Woods and Jack Cruz-Dumont.
