Hands down, Jordan Hill has definitely earned a lot more playing time. IMO, I think he should start over Hayes
I'm a Hill fan, but don't give him too much pressure to keep up the D he had on Gasol. I was watching L.A.'s broadcast unintentionally and they were saying Gasol's hamstring was bad enough that it was questionable why he even played in the second half at all. I didn't see this reported on the Rockets side of things. Still, Hill is the man.
Good point. I think he even went to the locker room during the second half? A good broadcasting team would report things like that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Jordan should pattern himself to Kurt Thomas. Solid defender, good rebounder, and consistent shooter from 15 to 18 feet. If he can do those things, he will have a long and steady career. Anyone expecting more than this is in for disappointment.
