Jordan Hill was 0-4 tonight. Is this guy really worth it?

So he looks lost in his 1st year, so what.

Darko looked lost in his first season and look how he turned out. Umm...ummm...ummm....never mind.

 

Caron Butler 4-16 from the Field tonight in his Dallas Debut.

 

Jordan Hill, at best, will be a poor man's Predator.

Morey didn't do the deal because he wants Hill. If the guy contributes anything it will be a bonus.

 

Dude your basketball IQ must be shot.

So your juding hill's future based on his Rookie campaign which he has barely played?

Any team would be lucky to have two consecutive first round picks from the Knicks

 

Or a non-rapper version of Lloyd Banks

 

First game, far too early to bring that up. All he needs is a good playoffs showing to justify the Mavs trading for him.

 

That is uncanny

 

LOL... they have the exact same jaw structure

 

Playing in HS has nothing to do with being a knowledgable basketball person.

Anyways, I'd take the odds of Knicks being a lotto team especially if Lebron doesn't even leave CLE

 

People who are freaking out should look up the rookie stats of Alex English, Gary Payton, Jamal Crawford, Jeff Foster, Ricky Davis, and David West. These are the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure there are about 1,000,000 more. Should we have declared all of them busts after half a season?

In fact, maybe we should start a thread of guys who had crappy rookie years like Hill, who went on to become something between solid starters and all-stars. The list would be insanely long.

Really, no player drafted to the NBA has reached their full potential. Some are closer than others, and some have more natural talent than others, but everybody has to put in the work. The question is, is he serious enough and willing enough to put in the work. He pretty clearly has the talent.

 

Thank you, your post was much needed to shine upon these non-believers

 

Doppelgänger.

 

They have been bad every year since the 90's. The odds are in our favor.

 

they could just look at now coveted teammate David Lee for that matter.

 

This. Please stop making it sound like Jordan Hill is being hyped as our "big acquisition." No one is doing that. The Draft picks are the central part of the trade. Hence it pending on whether the 2012 is unprotected or not.

This just in: Daryl Morey knows how to do his job better than us.

 

You do realize this is the internet, where I went to 2 NBA training camps, one for the Heat and one for the T-Wolves, before I was cut forcing me to grab got a couple of 10 day, $125 dollar contracts in the WNBA before I decided to call it quits and settle with becoming the #3 contender for the UFC's welterweight title.

Anyways, who says we have to keep those picks? The fact that we are aquiring 1st round draft picks gives us much more flexibility down the road, in terms of drafting or trading. 1st round draft picks, if high enough, or in quantities can land you some pretty high profile players
