    Who is Jordan Hill? Is he a player on the Rockets? I haven't seen him in so long. Is he lost? Was he traded?

    He warms the bench up for Chuck Hayes and Brad Miller

    He still makes too many mental mistakes. Dumb turnovers and fouls. It's hard to put a bonehead out there, even if he's athletic.

    They say that adelman is the type of coach that plays rookie/ inexperienced players if they're good, i guess hill isn't that good if he's getting minutes over these "Scrubs"

    He was the ONLY player on the team with a +/- greater than even tonight.

    I would agree, If Brad Miller or Chuck Hayes were doing ANYTHING to warrant that type of thinking...

    Brad Miller and Chuck Hayes can physically not do what we desperately need on the Rockets.

    Mobility and Rim Protection


    Jordan Hill makes an IMPACT. Screw the "Rick Adelman Offense". We need talent and athleticism If we want to win a ring with our backcourt...

    Actually uh Chuck and Miller turn the ball over much more. Chuck gets blocked 24/7...turnover.

    Hill made one bad foul today. The other was good, he just got unlucky on positioning (the charge/block call)

    Even good players make dumb turnovers, when hill is out there he can change shots and grab boards.

    A lot of young players make boneheaded mistakes...our veterans were out there making these same mistakes. The only way Hill can learn from these mistakes is if he goes out there and plays.

    He's a better general option than Hayes, who is a situational player but we are giving him regular mins.

    I completely agree, Hill should be the backup PF and Dampier will become the backup C.

    Mobility is not an issue with Chuck Hayes.

    Except for the fact that he can't jump 1 inch to finish a damn layup...

    +/- is and always has been an overused crutch on this board. It's used most frequently to support players that are touted to have "intangibles".

    Don't think +/- is overrated? Last season Scola and Brooks had negative +/-'s. BOTH were lower than Battier and Hayes.

    Hill should be playing. Hayes should be sitting. But watching the game is the proof. Not +/-.

    Jordan Hill should not be competing with Chuck for the backup PF spot, he should be the backup PF after Scola. Chuck Hayes should only play limited minutes on special situation.
