Hasnt taken a backwards step in his career.
i'm all for seeing him improve but he sure gets a big break from the chicago media for shooting under 40% from the field
I'm aware that i'll get assassinated for making the comparison, but I'll make it anyway.
Jason Kidd, through his first two seasons, FG%: 38.28
Kirk Hinrich, through his first two seasons, FG%: 39%
I'm not really a numbers fan, but their scoring averages at this point in both their careers (i.e. their second seasons) compare favourably. The assists and rebounds and steals arent close yet, but hopefully that will come.
I'm not saying that Kirk should even be mentioned in the same breath as Jason Kidd. But he's coming along really well and things do look much brighter for him.
As good as Stockton and Hornacek would be fantastic.
Let's hope Gordon sees more PT soon.
