10. Kirk Hinrich
Kirk Hinrich, who is commonly known as Captain Kirk, spent 13 seasons in the league. He gained the nickname because of his high basketball IQ and the ability to take control of the floor.
Hinrich quietly dazzled in a Bulls uniform setting the franchise record as the team’s all-time leader in three-point field goals. Not to mention he ranks third in steals and assists behind Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Hinrich helped bring some relevancy to the Bulls organization in the years after the dynasty had ended.
During his professional career, Hinrich averaged 10.9 points, 4.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. At the collegiate level, he was no slouch either.
After leading the University of Kansas’ men’s basketball team to an NCAA championship, Hinrich was drafted by the Bulls in 2003 with the No. 7 pick. Among the stars of his draft class still actively playing in the league are LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
Hinrich was viewed as a good selection for the Bulls. In fact, the organization thought so highly of him to bring him back after two brief stints with the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards.
Hinrich called it a career after the 2015-16 season. His accolades include being named to the All-Rookie first team for the 2003-04 season and the All-Defensive second team for the 2006-07 season.
Hinrich is currently eligible for 2020 Hall of Fame induction. He has a 0.1 percent probability of being inducted.
It is hoped by many that Hinrich will take on another role with the Bulls in some capacity in the years to come.
