Why Blake Hinson ? The front office keep fn up

[jjoe]

Cutting Blake Hinson is a genuine mistake. I really loved his interview and his game in the summer league. I truly hope he pans out.

[wc]

Should of waive castleton. As Koloko can take castleton minutes. Where Blake Hinson fills a need for our small forward position.

[love.and.cinema]

Oh yeah, that makes so much sense. Let's get JJ Redick the three point specialist to coach and then drop one of the best 3-point shooters in college last year. Of course.

[baggingup]

Should have cut castleton. He is stiff as a board unatheltic and cant defend the rim. I still see him getting his shots blocked in the post in summer league with those robotic slow post moves.

[TheBassist]

Yea, cut the man who shot 7 for 13 from the 3 point line last game in summer league. Amazing work pelinka

[creightonchun]

Why didn’t they cut castleton when they already signed a Big?

[beng.]

What do they see in Castleton that they feel would make a solid NBA role player?

[BlkRob]

Colin Castleton is just a nice guy we need to move on

[Bassmentnoize]

Why are we not firing Rob Pelinka. This is a dumb move!!

[zlsolivers]

bad choice Wow WE should be keeping Blake Hinson it"s all bad Laker will struggle more with out his shooting, Dam that would have looked so good with him and D'Lo from three damm

[ejgomes]

We will see Hinson shine and it's gonna hurt...😅😅

[IsHeARealOneVadaRealMC]

Henson? Seriously? He was the main one I wanted us to keep.

[ByronRainer-AMG]

They made the right move. Good job by Pelinka to find and sign this guy because nobody was talking about him.

[ericwilliams]

Castleton needs to find his strengths. You have to market your specific skill sets and I have no idea what that is for him. It may be the rebounds and fast break pass out, posting up, a hook shot, but he needs something that makes him different and is impactful.

[markeithmoore]

Blake Hinson is going to bite the Lakers in the ass. Sorry, I would have dropped Castleton. He is too soft in the paint. I hope there's a move to coming to get Hinson a spot.

[theguru]

Blake Hinson reminds me of Cole Swider, the Lakers, the Heat both cut Cole Swider the Pacers just gave Cole a contract I see a similar path for Hinson because he is a defensive liability like Cole Swider

[MYSONMYBUDDY]

Isn’t Koloko exactly like a guy who you described & with us 2 other times & he was always lost out on the floor in “DWIGHT JONES”!!! 🤯

[peyoteP]

Hinson made comments about Bronny in Summer League, pretty sure that factored in it.

[Sin-G]

In other words, no news lol. None of these rookies, well maybe Bronny and Knecht possibly are exception, will see any playing time. Just ready to see the Lakers new offense and defensive strategies. Cant even remember other than Luke Walton (as player and coach) where rookies got major play (taking Magic out the equation).
