    Kirk Hinrich

    I am so high on him. He has the size, strength, speed, smarts, great stroke, and he can the break. He would be the perfect fit for us, and we could move Mobley back to the bench. Our gaurd play woukd be super! Getting him would be the hard part, I really dont know what it would take trade into middle of the lottery. Maybe Griffin, and scrubs?

    Kirk Hinrich is the next Bryce Drew.

    I totaly feel you on this one. Kirk is this years Caron Butler. He probably wont be the rookie of the year, but he is gonna make an impact. He is tough nosed and smart at the game. He definately is one of the more underated players in this draft.

    We would be lucky to get this guy.

    Kirk Hinrich...

    Is it just me, or does Kirk Hinrich look like Commander T'Pol on Start Trek: Enterprise?

    Or maybe he just looks like a stretched-out version of the Pasty One, John Stockton himself..

    Either way would be ok, I suppose.. allegedly his stock is shooting up the boards like crazy..

    The vibe I am getting says that, *IF* the Rox attempt to make a splash in the draft, KH is the guy they are aiming for, and not TJ.

    Anyhoo.. just trying to fritter away the hours until the draft starts.. ;)

    How can you compare Drew to Hinrich?

    All Drew could do was shoot!

    Kirk can do everyting pretty well. He is very well rounded.

    I find it very hard to undersand why people would even Ford over him. Hinrich has so many more qualities then Ford.

    Yes, Ford is a great floor general, and he is very fast with the ball, but he cant shoot, and he will have trouble playing D, because of his size.

    Many teams will be kicking themsleves in a year when they see what they passed up.

    Personally, I think he looks like the "zoom, zoom" kid.

    Hinrich, Drew or Maloney? Who is the better comparison?

    Actually Hinrich is much more athletic than both Drew and Maloney, and all three could shoot the rock.

    Dan Dickau.


    Many more? like what? size? I find it hard to see how Hinrich's average size counterbalances Ford's well above average speed, penetration, and playmaking, which by all accounts, has not been seen in college basketball in decades.

    He Could? I only remember him making a clutch shot for Valpo that raised his draft status. I don't remember him doing anything else.

    He was a hell of a college shooter, it was much more than "one shot." The "one shot" is just what he was most remembered by and rightfully so.

    He started all 4 years at Valpo while averaging almost 18 points while hitting close to 44% from 3pt range.

    There was a lot more to him than "one shot," just not in the NBA.

    :eek: :confused: :eek: :confused: HOLY SH*T ! ! I WAS JUST DEFENDING BRYCE DREW ! ! :eek: :confused: :eek: :confused:

    TJ ford is light years faster than Jay Williams and is a much different kind of player.

    The most legitimate comparison is Kenny Anderson at Georgia Tech. That was a while ago.
