Hunter Rhodes brings veteran guard grit and a high-free-throw touch for UNI
In the 2017-18 season, Hunter Rhodes gave UNI a steadying backcourt presence: he averaged 10.1 points over the final stretch, shot 92.6% from the free-throw line, and handed out 17 assists in his last six games. His differentiators were poise, reliability, and a nose for late-game shot-making, especially when the Panthers needed someone to calm the chaos. He looked like a tough, coach-trustworthy guard who could handle pressure, get to the line, and make winning plays—exactly the kind of glue piece contenders love.
