Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - USA Basketball announced on Wednesday
it has added Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich to the 2006-08 men's senior
national team.
Hinrich wrapped up his third NBA season last year in Chicago by averaging a
career-high 15.9 points per game in addition to 6.3 assists, 3.6 rebounds and
1.16 steals per game in a career-high 81 games. His addition brings USA's
roster to 24 players.
"We're happy to add Kirk. He is a great competitor who should excel in
international play," said team managing director Jerry Colangelo. "His game
continues to progress and we believe he will fit in well with the style of
play we anticipate playing."
Hinrich was selected by the Bulls seventh overall in the 2003 draft after
spending four seasons at the University of Kansas. He was also a member of
the 1999 USA Basketball junior national select team.
"It's an honor to be invited to represent the United States and play for USA
Basketball. Our team has incredible talent and I look forward to doing
anything I can to contribute to make the team as good as it can be," said
Hinrich. "I love my country and the opportunity to bring home a gold medal is
a dream come true."
Other talents on team USA include Miami's Dwayne Wade, Cleveland's LeBron
James and Kobe Bryant of Los Angeles. The squad opens training on July 19 in
Las Vegas.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
