I am disappointed in the Hinton news. All these guys are longshots and moving on from players is part of the business. I was disappointed in Hinton in the summer league. I was expecting a better performance. Still though, I think there is a legit path for him to be an NBA player. Some of the things he does is exactly what role players need to be able to do. The question is if the rest of his game is NBA caliber.
This is way in the weeds and most people don't care, but I do. I will be interested to see if they have plans for the other two way slot. Or if they just elevate Onu or Hunt. I like both as guys you want on your G-league team but IMO neither are 2 way caliber players at this point and I will be very disappointed if that is the direction they take. Maybe a team was sniffing around Onu. That doesn't appear likely though as he was signed as a small guarantee camp invite with probably hopes he stays with the G-league team.
Last week, The sixers released a two way guy and signed former second round pick from Charlotte Grant Riller (interesting move). If the Mavs decided they wanted to move on from Hinton, they probably should have done it sooner if they are interested in certain players. Maybe they look at a guy like Moses Wright from Ga Tech. He was brought in for a workout prior to the draft and went undrafted. I don't believe he signed anywhere yet after playing with New Orleans in the summer league. Wright would be an intriguing two way guy. Moses Brown would be interesting as well. I believe two way guys can play with the team as well this year. Not sure how this would work out though.
