Some quotes from his senior captains:
“He’s really smart,” White said. “He always seems to be in the right spot. Always on the boards. He kind of has a knack for being where the ball is and where he needs to be. That’s just helped him make plays.”
Those attributes show up on defense as well as offense. Hurt has become adept at coming across the court from the weak side, away from the ball, to block shots.

“I love playing with Matt Hurt,” DeLaurier said. “Matt Hurt is always exactly where I want Matt Hurt to be. He just understands the game so well, plays hard.”
