He was selected with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 1980 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.[2] He spent his only NBA season (1980–81) split between the Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks. The Cavs traded Kinch, along with a 1985 first-round draft choice, to the Mavericks in exchange for Geoff Huston and a 1983 third-round draft choice on February 7, 1981.[2] Kinch averaged 2.9 points per game in his only season in the NBA.
The tragic loss of his brother, Raymond, in a house fire reportedly had a profound effect on Kinch and impacted his NBA career. After leaving the NBA and starting a family, he descended further into a fierce drug habit, eventually contracting HIV.[3] Kinch died of AIDS-related complications in 1994,[4] aged 35, at his home in Carteret, New Jersey.[1] He was survived by his estranged wife and a son.[3]
