Will Kyle Hines get a roster spot?

[ziggy]

This is a 2 parter.

First do you think Kyle Hines earns a roster spot. LB seems to love him.... very deeply

“We have some guys who were drafted (by the Bobcats) or who've played a year in the league, and I want them to match the intensity of a Kyle Hines or a James Mays,” Brown said, referring to two players just hoping to be invited to camp in October.

And, if he earns a spot then who won't make the roster because of him?

I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Only seen one game so far. Need to see more b/4 I can make a call on him. But you are right, LB likes him.

I think Weaver and even Hollins might end up on the cutting room floor, especially if Hines makes the team.

[ohara831]

Weaver will make the team. But Hollins is looking pretty poor and I can see him losing a roster spot.

[ohara831]

Hines and Mays are making a strong case for roster spots.

i'm gonna say no to hines. he'll get a camp invite and some kind words of encouragement from LB. LB will keep tabs on him in the d-league and maybe after he adds some range to his jumper LB gives him another shot. lynch was bigger and had 3pt range, something kyle is lacking. get a 3 ball and come back next year.

hollins is possibly gone. weaver will get a spot.

mays has no chance.

Fat sums up my opinon of the players listed above to perfection...except I'd downgrade Hollins from "possibly" to probably gone.

As an MA student at UNCG during Hines' time there, I kept up with how he was doing and was amazed at how productive of a career he had there, and the enthusiasm he brought to what is pretty much a commuter school and has had much more success in men's soccer than basketball. He really has done nothing but good things for himself thus far in the SL, exceeding my expectations just by getting an invite. With some perimeter work, like Fat mentions, and a little bit better handle with the ball, it won't surprise me if he gets a shot at suiting up in the future. And I'm definitely pulling for him to do so!

My daughter graduated from UNCG and she would tell me I ought to come see a game sometime, but I never had the chance to go. SHe said they were getting better and better every year. They have a good basketball program there.

The answer to this thread wound up being NO.

Kyle Hines wound up signing with a team in Italy, So he will not be a Bobcat next season.

I hope we give that spot to James Mays then... The guy can play! I'd also like to see us bring in Orien Greene and Guillermo Diaz to camp and let the best man be the third PG. I really hope Mays gets a spot though.
