The flaws do not hide the merits! The last-minute mistakes cannot cover up the Rockets substitute point guard s outstanding performance?

In a previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 92-78, achieving their first victory in the summer league.

The performance of the Grizzlies' substitute backcourt player Nate Hinton was very disappointing. Hinton played 7 minutes and 59 seconds in the game, made 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 2 shots from outside the three-point line, did not score 1 point in the game, contributed only 4 rebounds and 1 steal, and had 3 fouls, and the plus and negative value was also low to the lowest level of -13 in the game. Hinton had no touch on the offensive end, did not seem to have any scoring ability, and had no sight outside the three-point line, wasting a lot of opportunities. Not only that, Hinton's performance on the defensive end is also not outstanding. As an outside gate, his defensive ability has not been fully utilized. The defensive end lacks the support it deserves and the offensive end does not have enough scoring ability, so Hinton's role on the court becomes very limited. The plus or negative value of -13 also shows that the situation of the team when he was on the court was very bad. Hinton doesn't play much, but his poor performance is also a key factor in the team's defeat in this game.

Summer League so far, Hinton averaged 13.8 minutes in the first four games, with averaging 2.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 20% and a three-point shooting percentage of 18.2%. Hinton's performance in these games was really terrible. His offensive efficiency was a mess, and his three-point shooting percentage was even more terrible. His efficiency outside the three-point line in these 4 games was outrageously 2 of 11. Not only that, Hinton did not show any passing ability and organizational ability, and his characteristics on the defensive end were also not shown. There is no doubt that he has been dragging down the overall performance of the team on the court.

Hinton was born in June 1999 and is 26 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 95kg. He was the undraft in the 2020 NBA Draft. Hinton has made appearances for the Dallas Mavericks, Indiana Pacers and Houston Rockets in the NBA, and he has many years of experience in the NBA Development League. Logically speaking, he should be a player with rich experience and comprehensive abilities. Unfortunately, Hinton's performance in the summer league has been terrible so far, and it can be said that he has not played his worth at all. Logically speaking, with Hinton's resume and previous performance, he should have won the best in the summer league, not to mention that he has not played too little in the previous games. As a result, he only performed like this, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to return to the NBA in a short period of time.
