The Golden State Warriors are actively preparing for training camp by adding 6’6″ sharpshooter Blake Hinson to their roster. Hinson, who went undrafted in June, initially signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers and played in this year’s Summer League.
However, after the Lakers signed Christian Koloko, Hinson was waived to make space for the new player.
Seizing the opportunity, the Warriors quickly signed Hinson to an Exhibit 10 contract.
This deal will enable him to showcase his skills during training camp and develop further with the Warriors’ G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
Lakers fans have expressed concern regarding the team’s decision to part ways with Hinson so soon, especially after his limited time—just eight games—during Summer League.
Many are questioning whether the Lakers acted too hastily, reflecting on the potential talent they might have lost in the young forward.
As Hinson joins the Warriors, there is hope that he can capitalize on this new chance to prove himself. His shooting abilities could complement the Warriors’ existing lineup, and the team is keen to see how he develops during training camp and the upcoming season.
