George Hill's transformation from a deferential role player to an opportunistic scorer was one of only a few meaningful story lines to carry over from an otherwise lost 2014-15 season. In the absence of Indiana's franchise star and a ball dominant shooting guard, Hill thrived. Buoying a team that, prior to his own return, had been left to sink beneath the weight of its own never-ending deluge of injuries. But now, Hill's reality has changed yet again. Paul George is back. Perhaps, even better than back. And Indiana's point guard now shares the backcourt with Monta Ellis, who, when at his best, is creating offense for himself and his teammates off the bounce.
