The 6’5 guard spent just one year at Shaw, but it was an electric one. He averaged 29.9 points per game, leading Division II in scoring.

Hinton drew scouts to Raleigh and other CIAA gyms throughout the winter. Apparently they liked what they saw as he was invited to workout for the majority of NBA teams.
