Carolina Alums get cut...

According to the NBA Transaction wire both ex-Carolina 'ballers' Brandon Wallace and Tarence Kinsey were waived yesterday.

Guard Tarence Kinsey, a 6-6, 189-pound guard, was averaging 3.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 8.7 minutes in 11 appearances this season. An undrafted free agent out of South Carolina, he averaged 7.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in his rookie season with the Grizzlies in 2006-07. Kinsey came on strong late in the season when he was named the NBA’s Western Conference Rookie of the Month after averaging 18.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.63 steals last April.

Wallace signed as an undrafted free agent on July 10, 2007. The 6'9" forward out of the University of South Carolina did not appear in any regular season games for the Celtics. He averaged 1.2 points in 4.7 minutes per game during the preseason and was assigned to the Utah Flash of the NBA Development League on November 13, 2007. He averaged 12.5 points and 9.2 rebounds in six games for the Flash.

We here at LOHD hope Kinsey and Wallace get picked up real soon by somebody other than a european league!
