I don't want Hill. He is very low ceiling soft guy we don't need.
I absolutely agree with you. He reminds me too much of Mikki Moore.
If he had different hair would he still remind you of Mikki Moore
Bip, what do you think of Hill and who are you looking at in this draft?
I don't like any of the Arizona guys. That team had Hill and Buddinger two sure fire first rounders and possible lottery picks. Add on top of that you had Nic Wise who may also be an NBa player. Yet somehow they struggled all season long. That worries me. I like Hill's talent, I think he's going to be a solid player, but I don't see star when I see Hill. I see a tough guy(not sure why people think he's soft) that will be one of those nice hustle guys(like D.Lee) but that's about it. Not a game changer. I like his shot blocking but the few games I saw I thought his defense was horrendous.
You never know though nowadays. I remember the knock against Cliff Robinson his senior year was that he was lazy, didn't try hard, had ego problems, was inconsistent, would float in and out of games, low IQ, no passion etc. He got to the NBA and all of that went out of the window. He was inspired by how far he dropped in the draft, got into a good situation for him and proved everyone wrong.
For me, this is a tough draft. I fall in and out of love with everyone. There is no one I would move up to get(besides Griffin). At 8, I'd be happy with Curry, Derozan, Holliday, Flynn and all the other usual suspects. If I had to pick one without the fear of bombing on the pick but instead basing it purely on upside, I probably take Derozan, but I'm not upset about any of these guys. This draft is too even. Personally I like the idea of trading down and trying to angle for Mullen and one of the remaining PG's. I don't think there is a lot of difference between #1 and #8 on this list.
