Kirk Hinrich actually came to Kansas as more of an athlete than anything else. He shot just 31 percent from three as a freshman and averaged just 5.5 points a game. Still, he showed enough in spurts to where Kansas fans knew something big was coming.
I’m not sure people saw this, however. By the time it was all said and done, Hinrich ranked 2nd all time in threes made by a Jayhawk and his 1753 points currently rank 12th all time.
Hinrich is one of the most efficient players in Kansas history. He shot 54 percent on twos and 43 percent on threes during his career, and led the Big 12 in true shooting percentage in back to back seasons.
