    hey guys this is my first thread posted so go easy on me. after watching these past few games i started wondering how a combo of patterson and hill could do if they played together on a regular basis. they seem to have good chemistry. id like to hear your thoughts on this thanks :)

    Hill's help defense is really bad, he would waste Patterson's defense. Many times yesterday PPat forced his man into a bad position, only to see Hill come flying out of nowhere trying to block a shot, leaving his man wide open for an easy layup.

    I'd rather see PPat get his minutes with Chuck.

    i dont really think his defense is that bad. his one on one defense has been good on some of the better pfs of the league. and yesterday z-bo was hot he scored on everyone we put on him. i just think if these guys are in our future why not play them more now with the playoffs not in our sight?

    What I've noticed is that when hill is playing post defense, it's almost like he is standing up. He needs to get lower to get some balance and not be pushed all the way into the basket. I've noticed Kmart never shuffles his feet either that's stating the obvious though.

    i see what your saying. except he is usually outweighed by most centers and pfs so he gets knocked off balance alot. hitting the weight room a full summer would do wonders for him i think

    Hill still not a center but PPat would be better defensively then Luis. Honestly, I would like to see Chuck start at PF and Hill at center, but with Shane at SF not sure what would happen to the offense. The current starters aren't getting it done so some type of change would be nice.

    I say yes!

    I would also start Terrence Williams at SF!

    A Williams, Patterson and Hill front court would at the least be very entertaining to see develop!
