He has the size of a shooting guard, but after two seasons with Olympiacos no one doubts that he is one of the elite centers of European basketball. This is why he is gonna be one of the «hot» free agents of European basketball this summer and this is why NBA teams will take a look at him. So could he be equally successful on the other side of the ocean;
“I haven’t really thought about it. The NBA is a dream for every basketball player. You play at the highest level”, Hines answered to Eurohoops.net and he continued “but I haven’t necessarily thought about it. I think when the time comes and the time is appropriate during the summer, I’ll have the time to sit down and discuss everything with my family. But for the moment I haven’t thought about it”.
-Would it be the ultimate challenge, cause now you’ve proved to everybody that you can play center in Europe;
“As you know I am a fan of challenges. I mean challenges are driving me and drive every athlete. For me it would definitely be a challenge to play in the highest level, but it would have to be the right situation and the right moment. I really love being here, being in Olympiacos. I love everything we have here so we’ll have to see what happens”.
