[ClutchFans] Jordan Hill shows his potential (w/ video)

i Think he made like 2 and1's. great body control. a few more pounds of muscle then he can crack that backup C spot. Oozing with potential.

The PnR with Brooks where Hill goes TO THE BASKET is a nice change from our regular pick and pop PFs.

Not bad. It will be nice when he can further develop in the offseason.

 

I feel sorry for David Andersen. Hill is still very raw but he's going to do what Andersen can do. If they want to tank, play him. Just give him time to feel the game. With that physical gift, adding a mid-range jumper and some post moves, he'll make Andersen dispensable.

 

He was fouled at the end of regulation under the basket. The Detroit rookie clearly held him to prevent the offensive rebound but the ref had no view. It should have been Hill to the line to put the Rockets up, but no biggie, I'm not too keen on the Rockets making the playoffs anyways. I liked his hustle and athleticism.

 

If he being lost is the worst part about him at the moment then thats fine with me. Hes a 22 year old playing only his 5th or 6th year of bball I think? By next season he will know whats going on within the system.

 

Said it when it happened in the game. Seemed pretty clear to me also.

 

Let's see if this happens because last time someone who unexpectedly played, they never got much pt after that. Remember Joey's game against Memphis?

 

Reminds me of Charles Oakley.

 

That was a trade show. :grin:

 

I'm honestly really impressed with his poise and awareness to be around the ball at all times. He does need work but he hasn't been able to improve due to his lack of playing time. Give him a full offseason and training camp and I promise you he will deliver and make us forget Carl Landry!

Two thumbs up!

 

Yeah, i was very glad to see Hill finally get some major run out there. He has a sweet shot and can finish around the basket... hustle, rebounds, blocks out well. And it's great to have some weak side help with some shot blocking ability ... finally!
Look forward to more productive minutes from him.

 

Looked good tonight. But who knows whats going to happen with this kid. To early to tell. Hopefully he develops to the player most originally thought he would be.

 

This is a GREAT comparison observation.

I've firmly been in the JH camp since watching him in Arizona, and yes, I think this guy is not only the real deal, he is the true "STEAL" in the deal before the trade deadline.

imho, it's easy to get "refined" with enough training and playing time. JH may never be SO refined to be a primary threat scorer who can kill you in so many ways, but that's not what his role is and will be imho. This guy is a REBOUNDER, a 14 ft jump shooter, and an ENFORCER a la Oakley.

I am so excited for this guy.

And even MORE excited to see hiim rebound the bajeezus out of the ball playing alongside Yao.

oh, and going back to the refined thing, I'll take being patient on becoming more "refined" in skill, but physicality and being a great physical specimen... now that's something that can't be taught with time.

JH is the real deal. and a BIG deal at that.

:grin:

He lloked really good tonight despite the lost look. He is learning a new offense but with Chase helping him I think he will be a great asset to our long term plans.

 

Right. I happen to be not much of an Andersen fan so I don't really mind the idea.

 

he looks like Amare Stoudemire out there.

 

This is the best I've seen Hill play. But let's not get carried away. This kid appears tob athletic but not explosive. I admit to under estimating him but please, he will never be a go to guy like Landry.

In spite of his length he seems more of a finesse player than power big. That's not a bad thing. KG is more finesse. I personally still think we need a shotblocking defensive big to come off the bench and right now Hill doesn't meet that criteria for me.

Still props to guy for a decent performance to not. He is young and if he can hit the weight room and bulk up a bit he could become something more for us.

 

Congrats on the new job with the Rockets PR department. If Hill ends up as a part of a trade for a star, you deserve a part of the credit, Clutch.

 

While Landry was our go to guy, id hardly call him a go to guy on anything but a lottery team. I love landry but I think people overrate his body of work. His play was significantly better earlier in the season. I'm sure ill take a lot of flack for that but im afraid to say people talk of Carl Landry like he was Chris Bosh.

Love what I saw from Jordan Hill. Hope he can develop into a nice, active player off the bench. A Lowry for the 4/5.
