When talking about Hinrich's return Larry Drew indicated that the team would bring him along slowly to start with. He also added that Jeff Teague would remain the starting point guard and that Hinrich would come off the bench.
"At this point, I am going to stay with that I have," Drew said. "Jeff has shown that he deserves it. He has done a really good job for us. As of right now, I am just going to keep it as is."
