George #B Hill

Hill will be retained regardless of Dantes progress this year. He's good, he fits, and is a bulldawgggg.

I think burks is moved and we have a three guard rotation of Hill hood and Exum.

Hill is a stop-gap option to carry a team through a season while the franchise assesses the long term potential of Dante. His choice hinges on his seamless fit in our offence & being a plus defender. We got him because there isn't a team in the NBA with worse PG play. We needed a PG that didn't dominate an offence.

If it gets you wet to call him a bulldog, go ahead. You'll probably be alone on this one.

I'd call him a bulldog before I called him a stopgap. Hill is a legit player who we are damn lucky to have acquired.

I like you Dal, but your takes on PGs have been off for a while now. Need to step up your game.
 
George Hill was a huge part of the reason why the Pacers were good, and that'll become apparent this season. He does everything you want a PG to do. He has a jumpshot that is good from all areas of the court so you can't leave him open, he's a talented slasher who can attack the basket at will, great court vision, great defense. One of the most underrated players in the NBA.

Yep, one of the more underrated players in the league. Dude is going to be key in taking the next step for this team.
 
Beating a dead horse here, but I'm really happy we didn't just trade directly for Teague instead of Hill.

Being surrounded by excellent shooting in Atlanta really inflated Teague's value. We are significantly better off with Hill.

Teague exploded for 0 points on 0 of 7 shooting tonight. What do you bet they want a trade-back?

I stand by my take. And my love for Black Jesus. Hill ain't a bulldog & I'll never understand NAOS's boner for that term

Anyway, regardless of what anyone wants to call Hill, he is a damn good player, and most certainly NOT a stop-gap. Utah will want to re-sign him, no matter how Exum plays this season.

Oh, and Trey Burke always sucked and almost certainly always will. Should have a nice career in China within a few years though.

'Bulldogs lock down the perimeter'? So I guess we already had one in Dante.

Has anyone gotten around to calculating what %age of NAOS posts are attempts to harass other posters?

I truly feel awful for any human who has to spend any extended time socializing with you. No surprise Peeks walked right past your boring ***.

they'd also laugh at anyone who didn't think there was a strong likelihood of Hill leaving this team in unrestricted free agency at the end of the season. That is, unless you're an armchair-psychoanalyst like NAOS who attests he knows the inner workings of players and the likelihoods they have of taking paycuts to stay with a certain team.

Hill stays with this team and becomes our long-term PG if he continues to sustain this level of play and Dante continues give the FA no confidence that he's a long-term solution at the PG spot (which doesn't stray from what I said months ago)-- pending that we can afford to solidify a two-way option at PF as well. And you're kidding yourself if Hill will take a pay-cut to stay with the Jazz when teams like the Spurs are seeking his services.
