Happy Trails George Hill

[bboy]

Hill sucks...not bad for 20 mil next year...

George Hill can be a starting PG on a Championship level team.

But he can't be your secondary ball-handler.

That was the case with Pacers as well. Pacers had PG and Lance handling the ball a lot more than Hill.

Hill is so passive at times that Lance is like the overcorrection that a team needs as the 3rd ball handler. You can insert Lance to be the spark and help ball handling duties. If Hill was our #3 or #4 ball handler it might not be so much of a problem. With Hills contract though, it's not in the cards to pay him 19 million especially since he will be an expiring.

 

[inliner311]

agreed, I'll even go as far as to say we should have kept I.T. That way going into next season we'd have possibly:
I.T
Lebron
Love
Pick or veteran allstar

I believe IT would have just gotten surgery like he did with the Lakers after he realized he wasn't going to get the huge contract he wanted.

The problem with trading for Hill is magnified by Clarkson's poor play. A competent backup PG could reduce Hill's load in bad games and even make up for poor play at the SG position when Hill is playing well.

don't think so, he only has gotten it because their season ended. He would not miss the chance to prove himself to Celtics.

Apart from health, there's no way IT could perform worse than Hill.

Have u forgotten ITs historic defensive numbers? His height and his cosy locker room personality?

LMAO. Hill isn't perfect but he is easily a level higher than IT.

Both in terms of performances and height.

Well its not a secret that IT is a way better scorer than Hill and that's what the cavs could really need beside LeBron. The Problem with IT was his personality, not his skillset...

Hill is one of the stiffest PG’s I’ve ever seen at the NBA level. And it’s weird because he has decent athleticism, it’s just his quick twitch agility (moving laterally specifically) is really poor offensively. He’s such a straight line player he’s very easy to defend.

And it hurts terribly on Pick and Roll because unless he sets the screen and gets a wide open 3, he’s really bad at getting the screen and putting any pressure on the defense.

He was really bad in Sacremento this year, and the Cavs significantly overvalued what he could do here next to LeBron.

As much as I wanted Hill to work out, it's not happening especially when we need it most. If he has a good game tonight that's not enough. Just like, for the most part, with him, JR, & TT there's no hunger. They got paid and have different agendas. More interested in pumping out babies, golfing, or whatever their distraction is.

He's gone from making 1.8 threes per-36 on 45% shooting in Sacramento to 0.9 threes per-36 on 30% shooting in the playoffs. That's what's really been killer. I think everyone assumed we were at least going to get good shooting and defense, and then if he could be a reliable secondary creator that would be icing on the cake.

We can't expect much Hill. Dude was barely playing on the Kings. Yet we want him to ball out on our team. I'm tired of the Cavs picking up scrubs. Where is our scouting department?

This is where I am at. He was this lauded 3 pt shooter and he shot well every game the Cavs ever played against him. What is the explanation on how bad his shooting has been.

When I see him airball which is not unusual I am like "He was really a 40% shooter?" There is no explanation.

Yeah...and what makes it worse is he frequently goes into a mode where he's not even thinking about shooting 3's, and then the Celtics just ignore him completely. G5 he played 30 minutes and attempted 0 threes, which is crazy. It's like he got Rodney Hood disease or something.
