Nate Hinton is one of the most unique players to enter the league this season. Last year at Houston, Hinton averaged just 10.6 points per game on 41% shooting. The golden line on Hinton’s box score is of course his rebounding. He averaged 8.7 rebounds per game last season. Yes, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 8.7 rebounds per game last season.
Hinton’s playmaking abilities are a bit of a work in progress, but I like the prospects of him playing on the wing. He was a decent shooter in college, making 74-of-202 (36.6%) career attempts. He’s a good defender, an efficient spot-up shooter and has great feel for the game.
