Jordan needs not just playing time in season, but more importantly work in the off Season. He's got all the tools IMO, but he needs to polish them and to get much stronger. From watching him the thing that stood out was that he had energy, but it wasn't always effective. He seemed too light in the shorts to impose his will on the action. I think he can still get there, but that was the difference between him and Amare. Amare imposed his will in games and he used his athletic ability to intimidate on offense and defense. Hill isn't as aggressive yet even tho he has similar athletic ability. I really didn't want to see him go, but I fully agree with taking a chance to get so much cap space and probably replace him with a player that is already developed.
I also think it's clear that we may not have to wait as long for Sergio to bear fruit. He's much closer to being what we need at the PG position and he's cheap. I believe we'll be able to replace Hill with a player that is already there as opposed to waiting for Hill to maybe reach his potential.
