To me, this college Hinrich looks like someone you would expect to become a mediocre NBA player. I mean, look at those fast-break bounce passes; zero chance they bring you any success at the pro level with longer, more athletic defenders chasing you.
I was surprised Paxson drafted him, I was surprised when he became our starter on the bad Bulls, and I was even more surprised when he actually began looking like he was worth that 7th pick in the Lebron/Carmelo/Wade draft. Now, to be honest, while I could always expect Hinrich to be a mediocre and/or bad offensive player unless his streaky shot was on, I never thought that he would be THIS bad offensively AND lose his intangibles that made him valuable to begin with.
So yet again, Hinrich has surprised me this season with how much a young captain can decline. He simply has to bounce back; I mean, his age has quickly been running up, and he's hardly looked like Stockton which we predicted when he was a "baby Bull"... although he can still have a Hornacek-esque career if he gets his head back in it.
I honestly want him traded though. Give him to a slow half-court team that needs a careful guard who wants to feed a scoring center and wait for the open three opportunity. I don't dislike Hinrich, but he's a terrible fit for us.
