With the NBA season winding down, teams are giving longer looks to end-of-the-bench players and G-League guys, especially teams involved in tanking efforts. And the Utah Jazz are no exception, with rookie Blake Hinson getting good minutes of late.
Hinson is a 26-year-old forward who has bounced around the G-League (Santa Cruz Warriors, Rip City Remix, Salt Lake City Stars), and is now showing the three-point range he flashed at Pitt and Ole Miss in college.
The Jazz have needed his contributions, especially with third-year pro Brice Sensabaugh mired in a shooting slump, and the lack of depth on the roster at present.
