Former Clemsonbasketball guard Dillon Hunter posted a farewell message to Instagram, writing, “Thank You Clemson. Thank you CBB,” as he looked back on his time with the Tigers. It was a short message, but it carried some weight for a player who spent three seasons in Brad Brownell’s program and was part of one of the best stretches in Clemson basketball history.
Hunter appeared in 99 games across three seasons with the Tigers, growing from a reserve guard into a bigger part of the rotation during the 2024-25 season. He played in 30 games that year and started a career-high nine, averaging 5.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.6 minutes per game.
His best moment came in a win at Florida State on Feb. 15, when he scored a career-high 17 points while shooting 7-for-11 from the field and 3-for-6 from three. He also led Clemson in assist-to-turnover ratio during the season with a 58-to-14 mark.
Hunter’s Clemson career also came with the family connection, as he followed his older brother Chase Hunter into the program. Dillon arrived as a four-star recruit out of Atlanta and gave Clemson another long, athletic guard in the backcourt.
