Knecht and Bronny looked great despite the stats. Surprised by that Hinson kid ngl. He’s kinda like a beefed up JR smith.

[@macattack6843]

Identical shot realease for sure

Huh? What were you watching

[@javarzshinall9396]

[@basketballgod2791]

@@javarzshinall9396 I see him re-in a role-play nothing more, which is fine if you could ask me when I was young, would I mind becoming a role-play when I got older instead of being LeBron I would’ve took the role player will make good money and get to play the game he loves can’t beat it

[@user-ky9vw8hx7y]

Lewis just needs to be more consistent from 3 but he looks solid. Hinson is NBA ready already. Not worried whatsoever for Knecht. If anything, he might be even better than advertised because of his playmaking.

Well if you watched him play you’d know he’s not a three point shooter brah

[@gregpollard7158]

@@gregpollard7158 so he made slightly over 1 3 a game? That’s not nba volume. You casuals think guys can just wake up and be something they’ve never been. He doesn’t have the shot mechanics of a volume shooter. He’s closer to an iman shumpert than he is to a JR

Diamond in the rough, Blake Hinson, good outing also from maxwell lewis and collin castleton.

[@gregpollard7158]

I like how We’re Targeting 🎯 6’6-6’8 Athletic Wing 🪽 Players that have the Ability/Potential to Shoot & Defend - Mamba Potential Type Players who can play SG or SF!!! (MaxC/MaxL/Knecht/Hinson). Side Note - Hinson should come down to 215/220 so, He can keep up with Opposing/Athletic Wings 🪽on Defense.

[@brianrobinson8289]

Maxwell Lewis is the truth

[@TheHuskyK9]

Hinson looked like a diamond in the rough. Bronny needs to knock down his shots and free throws, but he moves great off-ball and on defense. My only problem is that Lakers have a habit of sitting on young talent and not giving them opportunities to grow. And then they trade them away because LeBron only wants proven vets, even if they're past their prime.

[@Donveto4445]

Dude.... just cause YOU think lebron trades people away personally doesn't mean that's what happens..... lebron isn't the front office.... or development crew..... he has nothing to do with the young people on the g league... God damn yall hate this man if he breaks wrong wtf

[@Donveto4445]

Lebron wanted Knecth and wanted Edey... reaves was an undrafted rookie and lebron wanted him to play more..... he wants good players, gonna be a long season for you with two Lebrons on the team

[@yrgminion5773]

Ik his stat line doesn’t stand out but I think traore looked pretty good as well

[@vasjaforutube1]

Hinson impressed offensively and in terms of sheer size, reminded me of Buddy Hield. Issue is: as of now his defence is non-existent even by Summer League standards. He was blown by like a cone by attackers even under the rim. Way too slow on his feet.

[@user-lv7vh3nu6j]

brodie looked just like buddy hield out there i swear lol

[@michaelgallego3088]

He’s much bigger than buddy.

[@Brutus34100]

[@WRWPitt]

I am not surprised about Hinson. I am a Pitt fan and watched via TV the mass majority of his games. Look what he did in the game at WVU. He was hitting 3's from the logo. Man I am going to miss him. But the Lakers might have found something.

[@benpuno2494]

That comparison is nasty with Hinson and Niang ☠️🤣🤣

[@NIGHTFALLDROP]

Caught the highlights to this game late last nite on my feed. And while Max Lewis looked good, the Lakers need to sign Blake IMMEDIATELY!!! I haven't seen such a beautiful 3 point stroke in a Lakers uniform since D. Fish and that is one area the Lakers need more of desperately!!!

Thankyou.. lets use some real knowledge and not that glazing shit on bronny.. when I say I’ve liked that Maxwell kid since the moment I saw him at Pepperdine.. he has rising POTENTIAL.. people forget his 3 point % in college wasn’t even 40 %. It was like 37-38.. so I expect his percentage to be where it is in the pros right now. It’s only his second year, and let’s face it , lakers aren’t the strongest organization in development. Let Maxwell get with him a solid trustworthy trainer that will help him with shooting off the dribble moves and consistent stroke/form (from deep) and he will be just fine.. and the stronger he gets, he gone start catching a few bodies. As for BLAKE HINSON, him and bubbs from Pitt were the only reason I followed Pitt as much as I did. That boy Hinson got a stroke.. ofc it’s slower , but it low key looks like Melos form to me.. I just really hope he can get with those assistants and trainers to work on the intangibles. Gotta turn some of that bulky-ness into lean strength and drop some pounds, get those feet quicker and gain more agility and quickness on defense so he can stay on the floor. We don’t need steals, we just need him to be solid on defense, do enough to just make his opponent tired and dribble the clock out..
