I am currently celibate, as a punishment to my common law wife, who is currently learning the meaning of regret.
tentative and finesse?? seriously? hill always looks to throw it down. what jordan hill are you watching? unrefined and awkward footwork are the only things that come to mind when i think of him.
Nice Video T! Man we better not give this guy up , i see a lot of potential in the way that he plays, very aggressive in the paint, offense and defense. Definately will get better in years to come.
In this mix there's close to 20 lay-ups and about 7 dunks. That's 6 more than Scola, but still more Scolaesque. Jordan Hill won't be joining Phi Slamma Jamma anytime soon. Even on his dunks, his head is even with the bottom of the net. With some back of the envelope rough calculation, that's about 20" off the ground. When I think athletic, I think of Landry as a rookie skying up and jamming from anywhere despite being shorter with less wingspan.
Very Raw, hasn't played a lot of basketball has lots upside as you can see. Didn't even play many minutes this year with a couple years of development he could be real dangerous. At the least he could be as effective as Kenyon Martin given the minutes. Not only does he have the length and the quick bounce to get boards and blocks, but he has a Keen Sense for it. He defeinetely has the Physical Skill, and will most likely bulk up. Most guys do when they get the NBA because you're playing against grown men and game is much more physical. Most Rookies bodies are not NBA ready their first year. Yao was a twig now look at him. Even Shaq was a Shadow of the beast he became. Point is lots of potential and has shown flashes of great stuff. Lets see if he can build on that. If he can I feel like he could be one of Morey's biggest steal/finds yet.
Alot of Hill's dunks were very spectacular but they just dont make highlights because he's completely unknown. The dunk over Darrell Arthur didnt make any highlights, it was just our above the rim replay. People consider C-Bud a high flyer and he had 29 dunks this season. Hill played a 5th as much as Bud and had 26, give hill a full season with good minutes and he'd be among the top 25 league leaders in dunks..
Good video. Not as explosive as Carl Landry on his jump but seems to be a bit quicker and is a much better defender. I think the guy is a starting PF at some point for the team. DD
I don't think it's a good comparison to compare dunk totals between someone who plays 90% in the paint to a 3-point shooting Three. I think you have to look at dunk percentage. What percent of total field goals are dunks? For Hill, it looks to me like 24 dunks out of 99 FG made last season. That's 24%. Howard was 39% for reference. That 24% is deceiving as I don't recall Hill making many jumpers last season (or attempting for that matter). Players like Landry and Stoudemire take a lot of 15 foot jumpers. In this mix, I see a lot of Scola-style lay-ups that could be dunks. Maybe it's rookie conditioning. I think Hill has potential, but so many folks on this board overrate potential. What's better than potential? Actual performance!
Great mix! I wouldn't have thought you were obsessed just a huge Rocket fan, if it wasn't for that :30 Baywatch intro of him in slow motion run with the hair flying around..............
