Is Captain Kirk Back?

I've got to admit, I'm a big fan of Chicago Bulls guard, Kirk Hinrich. But so far, he's been a disappointment, especially to his fantasy owners (and the Bulls' record has reflected "Captain" Kirk's woes).

Sports/NBA analysts have been saying that Kirk will snap out of it (fantasy guru Rick Kamla traded Ricky Davis AND Jamal Crawford for Hinrich late last month), and that his early season woes are just a funk he goes through every season - can't remember where I read that last statement - but I checked anyway, and found that for the past two seasons, for the period from November to December, he's only had 11 and 7 single-digit point games. He already has 9 such games this season, and we're not even halfway into December.

He's been showing signs of turning it around in the past week, but I still won't be convinced of the renaissance until I see consistent solid box score results with my own eyes.

In the meantime, I reckon Hinrich's owner in my twenty team league won't be keen on trading him, considering his recent semi-hot streak, and I'll be holding on to Captain Kirk in my two other leagues where I own him.

C'mon Captain Kirk, don't let me down!
