Hunter Kennedy is UC Santa Cruz’s playmaking guard with a scorer’s spark
In the 2025-26 season, Hunter Kennedy emerged as a steady backcourt connector for UC Santa Cruz, leading the team with 58 assists and averaging 6.6 points across 21 games while starting six. He also flashed shot-making upside, including a 16-point game against Whittier, and earlier in the 2024-25 season he showed he can contribute on both ends with 30 total points, four steals and two blocks in 19 games. The fit is appealing if a team wants a 6-3 guard who passes first, competes, and brings enough scoring touch to keep defenses honest.
