[latimes]Jordan Hill has emerged as Lakers' second-best player

That is how you do it in your contract year.

Not turn it over and over again and brick shots, take notice, Jeremy Lin.

 

I know this thread is suppose to be a dig at Jeremy Lin, cause all his threads are about Jeremy Lin. We know Tinman is Jeremy's number 1 fan. He sees plenty of Lin in himself. It's like someone claiming they denounce gays and how it's bad, and end up in the bathroom stall with another dude.

But the point of my post is that if Jordan Hill is your second best player, then you got some damn big ol problems.

 

Strangely enough (especially for an athletic finisher like Hill) his jumper has very little jump in it. He's almost flat-footed when he releases it. But he's been nails with it so far. Now, if he can respond with an up fake and a single dribble drive around a defender diving out to contest that shot, we might see the latest of late bloomers. I like his defense at the 4 against big 4's. He'll be tempting for a contender to trade for at the deadline if he stays healthy and keeps shooting well.

 

If your name is Jeremy Lin stand up and raise you hand... you suck.

 

Hill ranked 37 in PER last season. This season is not surprising so far.

 

He's doing his Patrick Patterson impersonation.

 

I wish we still had Jordan Hill. Trade was a mistake...
