Higher career scoring average: Miller (the guy who "can't shoot' ) Higher career assist average: Miller Injuries: Hinrich missed 31 games last season; Miller has missed 5 *in his career*. Yes, Hinrich can swing over and guard SGs, and Miller can't. There is little appreciable difference in their ability to guard PGs. Hinrich (being more of a combo guard) can play off the ball. That means we will be in the exact same position as last season whenever Roy is on the bench - no playmaker. But hey...god forbid we should have someone on the team who looks to set up his team-mates, instead of hanging around the three-point line!
I'd be happy to land either Miller or Hinrich. However, I totally disagree with you characterization of Hinrich as a non-distributor who doesn't set up his teammates. Last year, with Derick Rose running the point, Hinrich's APG and AST% were both way down from his previous years. In 2007-08, the last year Hinrich ran the point, his AST% was 30.9 and his AST/36 was 6.8. Last season, Miller's AST% was 30.2 and his AST/36 was 6.5. So, it looks to me like Hinrich, when running the point is just as good at distributing the ball and setting up his teammates as Miller. BNM
Please, stop making sense. We just need somebody to stand and wait for Roy to kick it out to them or swing the ball around the arc. Afterall, that is what this team needs.
Better career defensive rating: Hinrich. Guy who is 5 years younger than Andre Miller: Hinrich. Better three point shooter by nearly 20%: Hinrich Better turnover rate for career: Hinrich. This is fun.
