I was a little disappointed in Onu release, but he is not even close to being an NBA player. Hopefully they were able to build a connection with him and get him on the G-league team...even if he is not Mav property. He is a few years off though....even if his percentage of making it to the NBA is pretty small. It certainly appears he was cut loose to bring in a veteran on a non guaranteed deal. I have no idea if I would prefer Stephenson or Thomas. Probably either would jump on a non guaranteed deal.
I find it interesting Hinton has been radio quiet on twitter and intstagram since his release. It is a tough business. Spend most of your summer in Dallas getting to know the staff and then after a poor summer league your basketball future is in limbo. You have to keep fighting though. The league is filled with guys who just kept on grinding. Hinton is also a long shot to make the NBA, but I will be keeping an eye on him as I think there is a roadmap where he makes it as a pro eventually.
