    Hill, of course.

    But if Patterson can carry over his defensive play from college, and also give us 7-8 points off the bench every given night, expect him to come off the bench first in the future.

    I would say Hill is the one to backup Yao
    and Patterson is the one to play behind scola

    Hill will come in for Yao and Patterson will come in for Scola. But if we get Boozer or Bosh one of those guys is gone

    Hill is going to make a large impact according to Rockets brass...

    I say we're going to end up packing either Hill or Patterson in a deal sometime soon... or maybe even Scola.

    You can always just masquerade Hill as our backup center and let Patterson backup Scola. That's what I would do until a better solution presents itself.

    Hill and Patterson as back up bigs sure sounds better than Anderson and Hayes.

    Hopefully, we can keep him throughout the preseason.

    If he is good, not only does it raise his stock higher, but if we decide to keep him, this means we can trade off Hill.

    If he busts, then he busts. Simple as that. But I'm pretty sure he isn't a bust.

    You'd think Hill would be starting over Scola the way everyone's complaining about 6'9" being undersized.

    Well "if" the team stays as is then, Hill in for Yao and Patterson in for Scola even though hayes will get minutes as well at the center.

    First one off the bench? Scola! 6th man of the year candidate like Odom!

    You name the starter. Will it be Bosh or Patterson? Because even right now Patterson might be a contender to start. At least that's what Fritz said.

    Hill, heck toward the tail end of the season, he was practically playing the 5 spot anyway.


    Also, Adelman is the sort of coach that will give young talent time to shine, but not at the expense of a proven guy like Hill no doubt be by training camp.
