Celtics' R.J. Hunter: Waived by Celtics

Hunter was waived by the Celtics on Monday, Jeff Goodman of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Hunter, the team's No. 28 overall pick in last year's draft, lost out on the final roster spot to James Young. The team reportedly attempted to move Hunter for a second-round pick, but was unable to. If he clears waivers he will likely find a home in Boston's D-League affiliate to start the season, but given his size and potential at the shooting guard position, there is a chance he finds himself back in the NBA somewhere down the road.
