Pitt F Blake Hinson Testing NBA Draft Process
PITTSBURGH -- After a breakout season for the Pitt Panthers, forward Blake Hinson will consider turning pro this summer. Hinson announced on Instagram that he would enter the NBA Early Entry draft process while retaining college eligibility.
"I love the game of basketball and am constantly looking for opportunities to measure myself against top competition," Hinson said. "By entering the NBA Early Entry draft process, while retaining my eligibility to return to Pitt for my senior season, I can further test myself and receive additional feedback that will ultimately make me a better player. I am excited about this opportunity and grateful for the support of Coach Capel and the Pitt Basketball Family.
Hinson earned second-team All-ACC honors last season after averaging 15.3 points and six rebounds per game, both team bests. He also led the Panthers in 3-point shooting with 97 makes on 38% shooting from deep.
The deadline to remove his name from 2023 NBA Draft consideration is May 31.
