If you were to ask any Utah Jazz fan what one of the key reasons is that the team has been able to take such a leap this year, you can bet that without a doubt one of the names that would come up would be George Hill.
Following the three-team trade this past summer that sent Utah’s 12th pick in the draft to Atlanta, former Hawks guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers and former Pacers guard George Hill to the Jazz, there’s been no question that he’s been an absolute godsend. The point guard position was one of Utah’s most glaring weaknesses last season and there’s no denying that Hill has exceeded expectations at filling that void.
