    If Hill polishes his game in the offseason, he could be Duncan-lite.

    Which would please me.

    His athleticism, quickness, and agility and sheer rawness reminds me of Akeem (before he became Hakeem) during his UH days. Hakeem didn't start playing basketball till the year before he came to the US for school.
    Hill has very good form on his free throws. His footwork is getting better. He still has a long long long long way to go though to even sniff dreams jocks though.

    Lol, I totally forgot all about him. Not that I would choose him but yeah I haven't thought about him all season long.

    Ricky Rubio....oh wait :confused:

    Seriously, Hill has shown enough good play to get excited about his true potential. Budinger also has a very high ceiling and someone the team should be pumped to see developed. Taylor and Llull are projects so a little more PT for Jermaine should be nice.

    Hill but I picked Sergio for the Llullz.

    Seriously though, I like him as player and could develop into a very solid backup point guard for us.

    Damn shame they still have learned to secure a ball yet. Seriously his biggest weakness right now, besides the rookie offensive game (which is looking like he is patterning himself off of Scola's game play).

    I think Bud and Hill can big pieces for this team for a long time if they put in the time with the coaches in the off season.

    I think C-Bud will be much improved next season; his inconsistency was maddening this year, but if you will recall, AB did the same thing his rookie season. Jordan Hill may have the most upside, but that is a hard call, because C-Bud has such an well-rounded game. It would be great if they developed together and became the Rocket's Arizona Connection.

    oooooooh, topical humor!
    But seriously none of them have the potential that Jordan Hill does.

    Jordan Hill:
    worst-case scenario: starter
    best case:face of the franchise
    I also like budinger:
    worst case:main offensive guy in a 2nd unit
    best:consistent starter

    What happened to all the C Bud bandwagoners?

    I guess they all hopped off, I'd have to go with Chase first and J Hill a very close second.

    I think alot of you guys are overestimating Jordan Hill. Some of you guys said he can be duncan and hakeem like? He will never be that sorry. I like Hill, but at best he will be a solid replacement for Landry. Someone that can one day average 18points 8 reb, 1.5-2 blocks.

    I try not to get too excited about our rookies because I feel that there is a good chance one of them could get traded in the offseason.
