Hinson built his reputation the honest way — a knockdown shooter who kept sharpening one skill across a long college road from Ole Miss to Pittsburgh. His final Panthers season was the loud one: 18.5 points a night and a school-record 110 made threes, earning first-team All-ACC. Undrafted in 2024, he bounced through Lakers and Warriors training camps before landing in the G League, where a 44-point, 10-triple night proved the range travels. Utah handed him a two-way look late in 2025-26, and he answered with a career-high 30 against Memphis. What lifts Hinson above the typical catch-and-shoot specialist is his comfort launching off movement and from deep NBA distance — gravity that earns minutes even when the rest of the box score stays quiet. Heading into the offseason, he's a shooting specialist still chasing a defined NBA role.

Corner three specialist whose catch-and-shoot accuracy is his primary NBA value. Flashes of pull-up ability add another dimension to his scoring.
Defensive Game
Adequate defender who competes. Length helps him contest shots without fouling. Still developing rotational awareness at the NBA level.
Intangibles
Understands his role and plays within it. Reliable in structure — knows when he is and isn't the right option.
Did You Know?
His path through two college programs before reaching the NBA represents the grinding development route that many bench players take.
Corner three-point shooting is one of the most sustainable NBA skills — it's what's kept him on rosters.
As a two-way or minimum-contract player, his ability to space the floor and defend without demanding the ball makes him low-risk, high-value.
