Profile:
Hinton is one of the toughest competitors in the state of Illinois. He plays a hard-nosed style of basketball that is classic Chicago. Brings it on both ends of the floor with all-out effort. The senior is a plus defender, explosive slasher, and has really improved his jump shot over the course of his career. Committed to Southeast Missouri State in early September after a strong summer with Team Rose.
Odds to Win:
30/1
Why He Can Win:
Hinton plays on one of the premier programs in the state in Curie and is the best player on that team. He might not have a ton of “stars” around him, but this should be a really competitive CPS squad this upcoming season. Hinton is a tough kid that earns the respect of everyone that watches him play. If he can lead Curie to an outstanding regular season record he can put himself in position come March.
Obstacles to Win:
While Hinton is a very good all-around player I don’t know if he will be the guy that posts eye popping numbers consistent enough to garner the attention for an award like this.
