Jordan Hill Should Start

Jordan Hill is the Reason we stopped going after Dampier. Frankly i told the old coot to go to him before and Adleman took his time like always while we staggered our way to the 0-5 start. Jordan Hill is a huge starting potential player at Pf or center. Anyone who doesnt see that? Its not fault they arent smart. Any GM who devalues him? Well thats their fault. Its not like alot of these experts have shown alot of smarts lately. Say things like Battier is a no stats allstar, devalue Hills worth, devalue Courtney Lee, Say things like we need Martin and Brooks instead of a trade to balance out the defense before the season? Just alot of fail in all of their arguments so far. You keep giving Hill and Lee minutes? We are gonna start winning. Period.

 

Even if we end up with a worse record that NY, we still got Jordan Hill.

 

I remember a time back in the day when Olajuwan was coming back from an injury (I think it was the time he fractured his orbit) and he came back off the bench for a few games.

I'd not mind seeing Yao come off the bench until he can play without restriction.

I'd like to see him in the high post also.

 

Jordan has had a couple stretches of decent play. He is NOT ready to be a starter in the league. I'm glad we have him to develop, but no way do you start him right now. Keep letting him come off the bench and hopefully he keeps playing with energy and is productive. That is all you can ask of him right now.

 

He should get more minutes for sure. Just to get bigger for a few minutes and see what happens in those fourth quarters with him in the post.

 

Hill will get his chance now that Yao is out for a while.

Jordan Hill is not an impact player. This reminds me of everyone clamoring for Stomile to start because they thought he could protect the rim with his length. Then they saw Hayes start and realized what real defense looks like.

 

You mean Mr. Layup Drill himself at a whopping 6'6"?

 

so in essence what is he good for occupying a spot on a professional basketball team...

I like him, but he is definitely not a player we need right now. We need size.

 

The only thing Jordan Hill should do is play defense. I like the guy, but I guarantee if he plays defense he will get consistent minutes...

 

Chuck played no big minutes we win. Simple solution solved. Give more minutes to the Predator? We win.

 

Better defense will lead to fewer fouls and more minutes.
