Kirk Hinrich (6'3 190 PG) reminded the world how good he can be tonight against the Bucks. Playing 35 minutes off the bench, Kirk scored 25 on 10 shots, combined with a team high 7-8 on FTs, to go with 8 assists. Ehem, uh yeah, shhh, we won't mention the 7 TOs.... But great game overall!
Kirk averaged 16.6 ppg and 6.3 apg in 35 mpg as recently as '06/07. But his PT is likely to be much lower this year, after the Bulls have already installed a rookie PG in his place. The main reason he got so many minutes tonight was probably because the rook' went down with an injury in the 1st quarter.
Here's hoping Kirk can get his head in the game and keep his minutes high under his new coach this year.
