George Hill named Western Conference Player of the Week

Thank you for making this point. I've been busy and haven't been able to get on the internet this week but when I heard George Hill won player of the week my first thought was what about Westbrook, Harden, Davis, and everyone else in the West. I've been confused as to why Hill won. It must have just been a recognition award, not necessarily best player of the week award.

Maybe the voters just really hate turnovers, losers and bad defense.

George Hill has been a godsend for this team. A guy who can run the offense, be aggressive, hit clutch shots, not turn the ball over and also knows when to take a step back when its time to let Hayward and Hood run the show and not have his ego crushed? Plays great D? Literally a perfect pickup with what was actually on the market

Hmm, now that you mention it do we really know Hill's thumb is hurt? He could just be pouting because Hayward is back. Yeah...or not.

@LogGrad - We all understand the Jazz needed a quality point guard. But can you take a deep breathe and admit that George Hill is playing better than anyone imagined? I think he's off to a great start and I'm pretty sure he won't be able to sustain it, but I'm gonna focus on the great start and enjoy the moment. It's a small victory, Jazz fans haven't been able to celebrate them for a while. Go ahead. Let yourself revel in the fact that George Hill has been FANTASTIC and a HUGE win for the Jazz. I promise, we'll let you do that without having to eat any crow. (That will come later on in the season...;))

I already mentioned that. He is playing far better than anyone expected, and I am loving it. But can anyone admit that maybe this team wasn't assembled by a council of Gods in heaven and just maybe that other pieces could have done just as well or better given the same circumstances? It is like talking to religious zealots here sometimes. Does anyone seriously think that given the status of our PGs and the lack of leadership due to injuries to key players that just about ANY established starting point guard would NOT have come in here and made an immediate difference, barring injury? Maybe they wouldn't have done exactly what Hill did but I am pretty sure that any established veteran point guard would have come in and been right there among our best players from the get-go simply by default. I am glad it was George Hill, I think for the beginning of the season he is playing terrific ball, but it wasn't divine intervention for hell's sake.
