Is a young raw mess of a player.

And any player you muse "well in four or five years he'll be good!" isn't a player that is going to win you games.

He should be playing though. Consistent minutes. We need to know what we have here. Recently he FINALLY seems willing. So give him the minutes. 20 at least. And shove Jared Jeffries into a Mike James trade already.

I just KNOW we are going to get rid of Jeffries. He is playing out of his mind. It's going to happen. I can just feel it.

And when it happens then Jordan Hill needs to start and play 25 minutes a game. I don't care if he picks up five fouls in five minutes. Leave him on the court.

hard for Jordan Hill to show you much when his teammates won't pass him the ball everytime he flashes off a pick... i musta saw him get looked off at least 6 times last night when he was slashing to the basket with his arms raised in the air.

& i have no idea what you're talking about with him "finally" seeming willing... i've seen him show consistent effort on the floor every game he's played this year, including games where he struggled... if there's 1 thing u can't question about Jordan Hill's game, it's his willingness to give a good effort.

I don't understand either side of "the Jordan Hill effort" argument. Both assertions make no sense. He's a young, developing player and deserves some patience, while his back story doesn't entitle him to more.

has he shown effort consistently on the floor or hasn't he? what's so tough to understand?

Every time he gets the ball in the paint, he shoots. He needs to learn how to pass the ball and ensure that the team gets the best possible shot on offense.

With that said, there are definitely things to like. He is showing a nice energy level when in the game and is active on the defensive end. Hopefully he continues to get better because we really need him to become an impact player at some point.
