A high flying guard with a defensive mindset, Demetrius Hunter was a valuable addition amidst a rotating door of Hoya guards throughout the previous decade.

A Top 100 recruit who chose Georgetown over UNLV, Clemson, and St. Louis, Hunter played a reserve role in his freshman season year behind Anthony Perry. While he was a better two-point threat (40 percent) than from three (30 percent), Hunter finished with a 6.0 points per game average, best of any of the four freshmen who joined the team. Hunter picked up the pace in 2000-01, scoring in double figures in 18 games, including a 21 point effort in upsetting #12 Syracuse at MCI Center, the Hoyas' first win over a Top 25 team in four years.

With a one year old daughter in Las Vegas, Hunter announced a transfer to UNLV after the 2000-01 season to be closer to home for his new daughter. He averaged 7.1 points per game with two seasons for UNLV from 2002 through 2004.
