6-9 Malik Hines a potential fallback option if Okafor, Turner, Robinson, Okonoboh go elsewhere?

Plan A: Okafor, Turner

Plan B: Okonoboh, Robinson

Plan C: Hines

this guy seems a tad redundant to Bell (lanky, athletic, raw), he does appear to have a little more court awareness and a little bit more of a face-up game (while Bell has more potential as an inside prospect cuz he's bigger), moves more fluidly. if we strike out on Goodluck or Elbert, i might be okay with an offer to this dude (don't think we get Okafor or Turner, and even if we do they're one-and-done, this guy's a 4-year player like Bell).

fascinating that ESPN, Rivals, and 247 don't even seem aware of his existence while Future150 has him 73rd nationally.

also wonder if there's any connection to Laquinton, they're from the same area.
