Player: Derrick Rose Per game stats: Irrelevant- a small 10 game sample size during which Rose was rusty is not worth bringing up The Good: It’s hard to find any good in a season that was as short as Derrick Rose’s was, but the major (and only) positive is that was regaining some semblance of his […]
Player: Kirk Hinrich Per game stats: 73 games played, 61 games started 29.0 minutes 9.1 points per game; 39.3% FG%; 35.1% 3P 3.9 assists per game, 2.6 rebounds per game, 1.6 turnovers per game, 1.1 steals per game The Good: It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Kirk Hinrich. All season long I’ve […]
