Hinrich is not that good of a player especially on offense, He is nothing but a defender and shooter. He is horrible after that.
I admit I got all knee jerk on getting Hinrich after the first usual sucky games of Rafer this year. But I still think that we won't win the title with Rafer as our PG. Unless Adelman severely cuts his minutes, plays Brooks in the crucial 4th qtrs minutes, and Brooks not matched up to a bigger PG that will exploit him. Quickly thinking on potential playoff matchups, Deron Williiams is a tough matchup, that's the only PG I think of right now that would give Brooks problems.
In the Olympics Deron had trouble against Patty Mills of the Australian team. So maybe Brooks can do the same?
I'm not even going to pretend who Patty Mills is and his game, but the Olympics is too small of a sample to give a barometer of a legit comparison, especially when Deron had to share minutes with the other all world guards in Team USA. We face the Jazz 4 times in the regular season and if we see them in the playoffs potentially 7 times. We'll know if this matchup will be a problem before long. I look forward to how Brooks will play against them and how Adelman will use Brooks.
