Nah boozer is better But seriously, Hill should be at least decent at center I think. He has really good recovery speed due to his hustling.

This thread is almost as good as the "We need a starting center thread"

It would be even better without your input.

Just check Bynum out and see if them knees be working, sign him to a none guaranteed contract, low risk if it doesn't pan out!!!!!! I mean imagine how Jordan, Dwight, Ibaka, Duncan, Gasol to name a few will abuse Hill!!!

Playing Jordan Hill at starting center will basically land him on the injured list for a good part of the season. I guess the Lakers haven't seen enough of him to understand he's a good energy guy off the bench for spot minutes and NOT a 30 min per game starter. Mitch and Jim drunk at the wheel when they gave him that deal!

This! Jordan Hill is only good in spurts even if he doesn't get injured which is a big IF, he runs out of gas fast. He is not a 30+ mins per game player, especially not at center.

You mean essentially that one year deal?

What's the worst that can happen? He gets hurt again doesn't live up to it and we have a 9 million expiring contract to trade.

Stop acting like this is some long term investment in a player. It's a risky signing in the sense that Hill may not live up to it, but it has a lot of financial flexibility and Hill has proven he can be a serviceable bigman with upside.

Hill is a PF that can play C but we should actually get a C so we don't run Hill into injury. Sac is not much of a player.

Get Okafor, if he's healthy, and have him put in some defensive minutes at C; IMO. Sacre can handle the garbage minutes...

I wonder if Jordan Hill has been continuing to work on his outside shot?

I know we all heard how he was taking a zillion shots a day last offseason. Then he started off shooting horribly from outside at the start of the season.

But at the end of the season he seemed to be showing more of a scoring punch, including hitting some outside shot.

It takes time to develop an outside shooting touch. If JHill keeps working hard, maybe he'll show some improvement this season and that might make a big difference.

Yeah, I'm an optimist.

How tall is Matt Bullard? He looks taller than Jordan Hill in the first video.
