Hines in NBA Summer League
Former UNCG star Kyle Hines plays his third game of the NBA's Summer League at 10:30 tonight. He's coming off a seven-point, five-rebound performance in nine minutes in the team's most recent game, a 77-75 loss to the New Orleans Hornets.
There isn't necessarily going to be a ton of playing time available to Hines, an undrafted free agent who can't trump first-round draftee Alexis Ajinca no matter what he does. The Bobcats have an investment in Ajinca and are using this 10-day summer session as a developmental tool.
But there's still an upside to participating for Hines, who can display his talents to foreign scouts and other NBA execs and enhance his profile in the process.
The Bobcats' summer team is coached by Dave Hanners, a former UNC assistant and one of the really good guys in the business. Hanners is one of several assistants on Larry Brown's staff.
