Things you should know about Kirk.

VERY VERY VERY High BBIQ.

Makes those around him better.

Can create his own shot.

Can create his own 3 shot.

Good crossover.

Great passing lanes defender.

Career bests:

PPG: 2007 - 16.6 ppg

APG: 2004 - 6.8 APG

RPG: 2005 - 4.0 RPG

SPG: 2005 -1.6 SPG

T/O: 2009 -1.5 T/O / G

3PT%: 2007 - 41.5%

FG%: 2011 - 45.1%

The "demise" of Hinrich began in 2007-2008 when the Bulls acquired Larry Hughes. This left the Bulls with Hughes, Ben Gordon, Chris Duhon and Kirk Hinrich. Hinrich's minutes dropped from 36 minutes to 29 minutes a game. The team did not earn a playoff birth and Scott Skiles lost his job.

2008-2009 was the first year of Derrick Rose which led to Hinrich heading to the bench.

Prior to the 2007-2008 season, Hinrich's number were

15.1 PPG, 6.5 APG, 1.3 Steals, .3 blocks, 2.4 T/O. 41.2 percent shooting and 38% from 3 averaging 36 minutes a game (this was his first 4 years in the league).

His reduction in production is directly related to 2 things...first...a move to combo guard instead of playing the 1 exclusively, 2nd a reduction in minutes due to acquired personnel/a few nagging injuries.

His career per 36 is almost exactly his first 4 year averages.

Feb 5th Kirk came off the bench against Atlanta for 13 points, 4 reb, 4 assists and 1 steal in 27 minutes. On Nov 25, he started at shooting guard and scored 8 points with 1 rebound and 1 assist in 24 minutes against the Hawks. On October 30 he started at SG alongside John Wall and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and had 4 assist (3 steals) in 41 minutes.

Summary, in 3 games against the Hawks he struggled to score when matched against JJ but still rebounded and had assists from the SG position and managed 4 steals. Kirk excels when he plays the point exclusively as shown by the first 4 years of his career. This is a great move guys.

you can't seriously be faulting him for that ? :white flag:

Besides...Crawford traveled on the play :)

[RT3]

I'll share one for laughs.

Once again, for those that don't know Kirk Hinrich.

In December with John Wall inactive and Gilbert Arenas being traded, Kirk was returned to him natural position of Point guard. Here are his stats for the next 4 games.

MPG - 39.25

PPG - 16.25

APG - 9.75

RPG - 4.75

SPG - 2.00

T/O - 3.5

FG% - 44.4

3PT% - 1 of 8 for 12.5%

FT's - 16 of 18 for 89% (4.5 FT/Game)

That's Hinrich when he gets to play the point. Will he match that for us? Probably not since we have 3 legit scorers on the floor at one time. But you can not afford to play off the PG anymore and you can't afford to just run at our PG anymore when you are on O. 3 of those 4 games were against CHI/MIA/SAS.

That's not a travel at all.

[thecampster]

That's not a travel at all.

actually it is...he picks it up before the first step...then the pro hop isn't proper..counts as 2 because he brings the feet up and down at different times.

Good to see real and reasoned facts with a post! Good job as the Hawks have made an improvement at PG with this trade.
