Eligibility
The Atlanta Hawks have traded for Kirk Hinrich and will give the Bulls a second-round pick for the veteran point guard.
Fantasy Impact
Hinrich has been averaging a career-low in minutes along with lows in every other stat category. It's tough to imagine Hinrich getting much playing time with Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder on the roster.
After not playing a single minute in Tuesday's season-opening win over Cleveland, Chicago Bulls PG Kirk Hinrich played five minutes on Wednesday in Brooklyn.
Fantasy Impact
The 12-year veteran added an assist in his time on the floor and is the clear-cut No. 3 PG behind Derrick Rose and Aaron Brooks. Things can change at any point especially since Brooks is an up-and-down player, but it seems that Hinrich's lack of speed is keeping him off the court in head coach Fred Hoiberg's fast pace offense.
Kirk Hinrich saw 19 minutes on Monday, but only came up with two points. He was 1-6 from the field. He also finished with two rebounds and an assist as the Bulls lost to the Hornets.
Fantasy Impact
Hinrich does not hold any draft value. He should not see 19 minutes per game once the regular season starts. Look for Hinrich to be closer to eight to 10 minutes per game throughout the year. Hinrich is obviously in the decline of his career and more reliable players should be available to fill out your roster in the late rounds.
Chicago Bulls veteran PG Kirk Hinrich added 13 points in Saturday night's preseason win over Minnesota.
Fantasy Impact
Hinrich shot 5-of-7 from the field, 3-of-3 from 3-point land, adding three assists and two steals in 17 minutes. It was nice to see him have a nice night after sitting out the preseason opener against the Bucks and going scoreless against Denver on Thursday. Hinrich's role could be a big one to start the season with Derrick Rose's status iffy right now.
After sitting out the preseason opener against the Bucks on Tuesday, Chicago Bulls PG Kirk Hinrich returned to action on Thursday against Denver. He had zero points.
Fantasy Impact
Hinrich played 18 minutes as he shot just 0-of-2 from the field as he added three rebounds, three assists and a steal. He had a team worst +/- of -15. His role should be rather large especially if Derrick Rose were to miss time early this season due to his eye injury. Hinrich simply doesn't score enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
