    I’ve been watching Hinton while he’s on the court and in both games he’s brought the defensive intensity and has played his role perfectly. Him picking Scoot’s pocket was a thing of beauty. He also had the biggest +/- differential in the Pistons game.

    I don’t know if it’s a two way contract or an outright 15 man roster spot but I think he makes the squad and makes life hell for the guys in practice.

    I like his effort on defense. He also played for UH, so that's another plus.

    I agree, dude is a great hype man and should get the last roster spot

    Whose house? We could really use some of this Cougar's hustle. It can be contagious.

    His motor runs at like 137.8%. I think they mentioned he's bounced around Pacers/Mavs too? You need guys that make practice worthwhile too. I'm good with that as long as he keeps that wonky ass number lol

    He should definitely get a training camp invite based on what he is doing out there so far.

    Would love it! I think he offers more than Tate. I also think we need another big.

    Darius Days also looked solid for us.

    Like all those UH kids, he brings it on defense, but I dunno...

    +18 today and 4 steals. My boy was stealing everything today. I think I saw him steal some GM’s phone while he was on the bench.

    Can't hurt, we got some roster spots now since we dumped our entire bench from last year for nothing

    It looks like there are two spots left, correct?

    I wouldn't mind this. Even if he never gets into a game, he seems like the kind of player that would bust his ass every scrimmage and make the top talent have to work harder in response.

    I believe this is correct: one for 2/3 / wing type player and the other for a front court player (4/5)

    I think we also have a two-way spy left. I think we get three now
