When the season began ESPN ranked George Hill the 101st best player in the NBA.
Despite having a strong season after returning from injury, it seemed George Hill would continue to have the label of a weak link in the Indiana Pacers starting lineup.
But that’s bullshit.
I’m not here to claim that George Hill is secretly the league’s best point guard (That’s Stephen Curry.) or the second best (That’s definitely Russell Westbrook or Chris Paul) or even an all-star.
But the idea that he’s not in the top 100 players or in the top 10 of point guards ignores the impact he’s had on the team both last season without Paul George in the lineup and now as he shares the court with PG and Monta Ellis.
