A Mike Tyson look-alike is all set to play in the PBA Governor’s Cup. If Darnell Hinson is as fierce a competitor like the former world heavyweight champion, still remains to be seen. Hinson will take over the spot of the ineffective Stefhon Hannah with the hopes of bolstering the B-MEG Derby Ace Llamados’ campaign in the season-ending conference. He will have his baptism of fire when the Llamados play the Talk N Text Tropang Texters in Dubai on Thursday. Hinson is a 6-2, 200 lbs. pointguard and a native of Oklahoma. He played four years of college ball for the Northeastern State University Redmen, wherein he averaged 23.6 points during his senior year in Division II play. Hinson, 31, is a well-travelled player and had seen action in Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, France, Puerto Rico and Poland. During the 2008-09 campaign, Hinson played 17 games for Limoges CSP Elite in the French league and submitted norms of 15.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists. The next season, he strutted his wares for Gallitos de Isabela in the tough Puerto Rican league, wherein he averaged 11.3 ppg, 1.4 rpg and 2.0 apg in 32 outings. This past season, the former Muskogee High School sensation played 22 games for Polonia Azbud Warzawa in the Polish league and posted norms of 16.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg and 2.9 apg. He later returned to Puerto Rico to play 26 games for Isabela, wherein he averaged 11.5 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 3.7 apg, with a single game-high of 25 points against Arecibo last May 20. Scouting report on Hinson says he is a very strong player and a decent ballhandler, according to the Australian NBL website.
“Enjoyed excellent college campaign at D2 Northeastern State ... decent ballhandler ... muscular build and looks very strong.”
