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.

Blake Hinson reaches agreement with the Warriors

Nevertheless it has now been revealed that the Golden State Warriors have reached an agreement with Hinson on an Exhibit 10 contract, which means he has no guaranteed salary and could be released at any time.

During his college career, he averaged 18.5 points, registered 88.0% from the free throw line, 54.4% from the paint, and 42.1% from three-point range during his senior year.

Last month the Warriors resigned Steph Curry to a one-year veteran extension (until 2027) and on Friday, the franchise waived Yuri Collins and Javan Johnson.
