Is Kirk Hinrich underrated defensively?

[D2Procon]

If you take a look at how he has done against superstars its pretty amazing.

Kobe Bryant 1 game 21 Points .333% (He torched Salmons in that one 42 point game due to Hinrich's nagging injury)

Brandon Roy 1 game 18 points .382%

Joe Johnson 2 games avg 15 points .388%

Dwayne Wade 2 games avg 21 points .334%

Ray Allen 2 games avg 15 points .589%

Monte Ellis 2 games avg 30.5 points .312%


Im beginning to like this guy more more. Hope the Bulls don't trade him.

Not at all..everybody recognizes him as a very good defender, he gets a good amount of recognition for it..

[Udokafan05]

[jermaine]

its cause hes white

I swear I've always loved that guy. I'll trade Parker & Bonner for him, Pargo, & T thomas.

I recall Pat Riley quoting that Hinrich was one of the best defending point guards in the NBA

[kamikazi_player]

It would be dangerous if Hinrich went to the Lakers or even the celtics honestly.

[blkroadrunners]

I always thought before the Celtics/Bulls series, he was fairly underrated, but I think a lot of fans and media recognized his defensive ability more the way he was able to contain Paul Pierce last year.

But, with BrHornet45's logic...Kirk should be winning defensive player of year awards because Stern loves white people.

god bless sons!
