Cleveland Cavaliers: 5 Point Guards That Could Replace Mo Williams

5. Kirk Hinrich, free agent

Kirk Hinrich has already played 13 years in the NBA. Where has all the time gone?

Believe it or not, at one point, Hinrich was being compared to Utah Jazz Hall of Famer John Stockton out of college. He never lived up to the comparison, but he’s been a solid player in the league.

Hinrich has always played with toughness and attitude. He’s even got into a few physical altercations with players due to his aggressiveness. If the Cavaliers were to sign him, fans would immediately think of Dellavedova, only Hinrich is better on the offensive side of the ball.

He’s played for only three different teams in his 13 year career. He was traded to the Washington Wizards in 2010, as they were looking for a short term replacement for Gilbert Arenas.

He then played with the Atlanta Hawks, re-signed with the Chicago Bulls, and then got traded back to the Hawks last season.

Hinrich would likely split time with Felder and McRae since he doesn’t play long minutes at this point in his career. He only averaged 6.9 minutes per game last season, but that was due to Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder getting most of the minutes.

He would fit in well with coach Tyronn Lue‘s offense. He would be asked to do the things Dellavedova did, which was play tough, gritty defense, and get the ball movement started among the offense. If he had an open shot from long range, he could take it–just as long as it went in.

It’s not known if he has anything left in the tank for a full season, and can remain healthy.

Hinrich would be a low risk, high reward signing at this point in his career and it could be worth the game for the Cavaliers.
