Kyle Terrel Hines (born September 2, 1986) is an American professional basketball player who plays for CSKA Moscow of the VTB United League. He played college basketball for the UNC Greensboro Spartans of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. As a player of Olympiacos, he won two EuroLeague titles, before winning another one with CSKA Moscow.
Hines attended ninth grade at Camden Catholic High School, where he scraped his way onto the freshman team and transferred to Timber Creek Regional High School to play for the Chargers as a sophomore, playing on its basketball team from 2001 to 2004. Timber Creek first opened its doors after Hines' freshman year ended, but after his relocation to the new school he became a three-year varsity starter under coach Gary Saunders. After averaging 15.3 points per game his sophomore season, Kyle burst onto the scene during his junior campaign. He was voted a First Team All-South Jersey player after averaging 20.6 points, named MVP of the Philly USA All-Star Classic, and received a Top-20 All-Star status at Five Star Camp.
Hines repeated as a First Team All-South Jersey selection his senior year, and additionally garnered a Second Team All-State. He averaged 23.5 ppg and eventually became his high school’s all-time leading scorer, finishing his career with 1,562 points (his brother Tyler, coincidentally, is also a 1,000-point scorer at Timber Creek).
Other accolades received during his senior season include: NJ Hoops First-Team All-Camden County, NJ Hoops Awards Rebounder Team, Best Post Player Team, Second-Team Top Dunkers), Best Rebounder and Top 20 All-Star at the summer Five Star Camp, and also rated one of the Top 15 seniors in the Delaware Valley.
