The Indiana Pacers have signed 22-year-old guard Nate Hinton to an Exhibit-10 deal, the team announced Tuesday.
Hinton, who signed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks last season after going undrafted out of the University of Houston, where he was named to the Second Team All-AAC in 2020, has familiarity not only with Rick Carlisle but also former Cougar teammate, DeJon Jarreau.
With limited practice time and a shortened training camp, the past year didn’t offer a lot of opportunities for rookies like Hinton, as he — not unlike Indiana’s 2020 second-round draft pick, Cassius Stanley — was limited to only 93 total minutes for the Mavericks, averaging two points per game and not much else from the perspective of box-score contributions.
