Jordan Hill's most likely career progression ceiling

I've said a more low-key Brian Grant. Very basic game based on size and being active, but effective. He's another one of those guys you maybe shouldnt judge by body language, cuz by body language you'd think he's almost disinterested or subdued like a 16 year old playing on the "grown man's" court. I think he needs to just keep playing and mature more into the game.

 

well it's all relative

timescales can be tricky

 

I hope he gains some muscle and becomes a legit post player. Realistically, he could be like Nene.

 

I really want to see him play alongside Yao....like alot.

 

Nene.

 

Reminds me of this guy.

The comparisons yall make on this board make me LOL

 

good starter for years to come.

 

I don't think we really know what Jordan Hill will end up being. Maybe he'll be the first Jordan Hill. The guy is a leaper, he's quick, he has great hands, he's got a nose for the ball, both for rebounds and the block, and I think he has more offensive potential than some give him credit for. If he keeps putting in the work he's obviously putting in now, I could see Hill being as quick at 240-245 lbs, which would help him a lot in the post. Jordan will be as good as the effort he's willing to put into improving. Physically, there's no reason he can't have a high ceiling. Then again, he could lose interest. Does anyone really believe that'll happen now? I don't. I think we got lucky.

 

Hill played 26+ minutes today, more than Chuck and Miller, and he was a difference maker for the team.

IMO, he needs to be given 28-30 minutes from now on for a number of games. Only by playing this many minutes can he work out the little details, little mistakes that he still displays.

What an improvement from the S/L games!

 

I think he'll be a career role player. Sometimes starter, sometimes off the bench. 16-10-1.5 in prime.

 

Raymond Felton - 18.2 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 8.1 APG

Carmelo, Amare and Felton. That is a much better basis to build a team around.

 

Felton does defend but other than that you're right, really good basis to build a team that will try to outscore everyone and never win a ring because of it.
