Full Story Kirk Hinrich is a 6'3" point guard, weighing in at 190 pounds. He is 29 years of age, and was traded from the Chicago Bulls to the Washington Wizards this off season, in a move to clear up salary cap space to go after the big name free agents. He was a leader on and off the court for the young Bulls team, along with being a mentor to the Bulls young point guard, Derrick Rose. The Wizards are hoping that he can fill a similar role here in Washington, with the first-round pick, John Wall. Recently, Flip Saunders named Hinrich and Wall as team captains. Kirk Hinrich's career averages are 13.4 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per game. His numbers did go down the last couple of seasons, after the Bulls drafted Derrick Rose. While point guard is his natural position, Kirk Hinrich can play shooting guard, and has even played some small forward when his coaches have gone to a three-guard set. Hinrich's strengths include his ability to knock down open shots, handle the ball, run the offense, be a strong floor leader, find the open teammate, and play strong defense against the opponents best guard.
