Golden State Warriors reach Exhibit 10 deal with Blake Hinson
The Golden State Warriors have started to strengthen their roster ahead of the new NBA season by bringing in free agent Blake Hinson.
A couple of days ago it was confirmed that the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed the arrival of Cameroonian Christian Koloko with a two-way contract for the next season in the NBA, but in order to include him in their roster they had to release a player who performed well in the Summer League.
In the end, Blake Hinson was the one sacrificed by the Lakers. The 24-year-old Pittsburgh graduate is a small forward rated for his long-distance shooting. In the so-called Summer Leagues he maintained 82.1% from the free throw line, 34.1% from the paint and 32.9% from three-point range in his eight appearances - stats that are not quite up to NBA level.
