2009 Draft Prospect: Jordan Hill

[TonyTX]

he seems kind of clumsy but he is getting better everytime he steps out. Can't tell who his game reminds me of. Needs more pt and get above the rim as much as possible. Decent touch and nice baseline game. Can never have enough low post so maybe he can develop that as a bonus to his drives and turn arounds

[wildazcat25]

eventhough we are a guard school, we can still produce big men!! (ie Brian Williams, Sean Rooks, Loren Woods, Channing Frye..soon Derrick Williams)

BEAR DOWN!!!! The Knicks are stupid! they wouldnt know talent and potential if it kicked them in the balls! Mike D'Antoni is a tool!

[BUYAO0]

he can't shoot with his left hand at all

[backsider578]

bust

[JaSaR8]

WAKA FLAKA FLAME

[s8715053122004]

im from houston, but im not quite confident in him...i kno his good tho!!

[yoomgitsme]

this guy is like stoudemire he just needs to be tough and hes only a rookie

[audisport]

welcome to the rockets. He's got great potential

[DontFearGrim]

welcome to HOUSTON

[MrKicks2010]

he might be traded soon in package for amare

[shakemhatersoff]

nice optimism

[ballerkid312]

bust

[dleesalim]

You don't know anything. Neither do the Knicks. Look at Channing Frye couldn't get any PT there but now is tearin it up in Phoenix. You need to grow up baller kid.

[JohnDoe113]

@dleesalim Frye actually had a lot of PT in New York

[thecheesburgler]

he was also a rookie

[prayformercy4]

true dat. people thought channing frye was gonna be a bust till now

[2m0rrownevapromised]

He looks like Lloyd Banks.

[KGPF21]

wasnt highly recruited? some college teams are doin the v8 slap right now lol.

[JWiLLfoReaL]

hill will be a average player. curry will be an all star.

[ludacris101]

Haha knicks

[Urbank06]

booooo

[2fly4u305]

in a way he is like balkman.. they both defend nd get rebounds........ BUT hill can shoot jumpshots unlike balkman........

[nvscamb]

knicks wanted stephen curry, but hill is mad nice too... shouldnt be upset with him

[aruwenner]

Hopefully he'll perform this year, he should put up number in D'Antoni's system, but where is he going to get minutes?

[Thugnificent718]

Knicks fans are the worst they booed this kid and I fucking guarantee he's gonna be a better player tban David Lee. He's got legit NBA size , has go to moves in the post , can block shots , runs the floor and he can shoot from the key in ... what more do you want in a PF ? The asshole who said taller Balkman needs to rewind and see that Jordan has skills and Balkman aint wack either

[CRvCcCxRN103Gz]

Balkman is Nice

[TheSilliestNigger]

knicks would have booed any1 except for curry. i think he'll be good but not as good as lee... also balkman is terrible

[Thugnificent718]

Hill will be better than Lee .. . not this year but he's already more skilled. Hill can shoot the basketball Lee cannot , He's also got a back to the basket game ... Lee does not. Hill will be a better defender and can run the floor. He's a better fit for what D'Antoni wants to do and he's gonna be a good player.

[TheSilliestNigger]

he is not nearly the defender lee is and will never be as dominant a rebounder

[Thugnificent718]

Lee doesn't play defense now and never has so Hill must be non existent on the defensive end and I wouldn't call Lee's rebounding dominant. He gets plenty of opportunities based on the Knicks taking lots of shots and missing plenty more.

[1tonylawrence]

he is a taller balkman cuz he has dreads? wtf! He is nothing like balkman. tyler hansbrough reminds me of cris dudley cuz they both where white with brown hair! Get my point! learn something about the game of bball before you comment.

[dakhan]

hahah...i agree. he's nothing like balkman. what can you say to ignorant comments.

[1tonylawrence]

i think hill will be pretty good this year. he has a jump shot and can run the floor. what more can u ask for from a 8 pick

[dakhan]

yeah he will be. alot of scouts actually had him as the second best talent after blake griffin in terms of NBA ready. as long as he is used properly and the knicks can get gallinari to play up to his potential they can be quite good this year. and lets not forget they have a good shot at getting grant hill, who will bring veteran depth and experience.

[robmahalkita]

thank your nyk for picking up a taller balkman

[NYG18DIOGI]

NAH,I Disagree on yhat Renaldo Balkman comment.....Don't get me wrong;He looks like BALKMAN with those Dreads,but,he has way more offensive skills than BALKMAN.JORDAN HILL Is a LEGIT 6-10,with SKILLS AND Can run like a guard.....I Can see him developing just like AMAR'E did under D'ANToni and his system.....This is a GREAT pick-up 4 us considering we picked in the 8th spot.I See the same type of player that the CLIPPERS got at the (1) spot...only HILL is a couple inches taller than GRIFFIN.

[icon1914]

Not sure if Hill is as athletic as Griffin, but I get your point... he will be a steal if he does pan out well... New York is going to need his help real fast.... he will get a chance to show what he can do... hope he steps up.

[KrazyGary1]

lets go knicks

[KrazyGary1]

nyk all the way!!!

[joeywazhere123]

i really think the warriors picked curry just to piss off the knick fans and the knicks. im not a warriors fan but i dont think ellis is a pg nor is curry. w/e well do well with hill n i think curry will be good with the warriors somehow

[JWiLLfoReaL]

No Nelson likes shooters thats why we picked him. I think Jordan Hill will be a bust. Curry is a natural. Hill might turn out to be good.

[joeywazhere123]

i think dantoni can turn hill into a stoudamire. u c wat he did with nash n stoudamire?! i dont think curry will be a bust but hopefully he doesnt turn into a redick

[NotSoEpicMuffinz]

Quote me on this QUOTE ME.

He is better then chris bosh was at this age. QUOTE ME.

[toodarkmark]

I will the GS Warriors forever. Steph Curry was meant to be a Knick. Im glad you only made the playoffs 4 times in the last 20 years and missed them for 13 years. I hope you dont make the playoffs again for another 13.

[NYG18DIOGI]

Good Size.......CHECK..........Good Post Skills....CHECK.......Can Run The Floor.....CHECK...Not 2 Mention He Has a good Mid-Range shot.....Yeah,We Can Definitely USE Him.Not that much of a Difference from "BLAKE GRIFFIN" AND We got him (7) picks later.....PLUS,He's a couple inches taller.He'll be just as good,if not better than "GRIFFIN".....WATCH AND SEE!!!!!

[thegov08]

griffin will be a better pro but not by much. griffin just used his strength overpower guys in the post in college, he's not gonna be able to do that that easily in the pros. Jordan hill has more of a mid range game and that's really going to help him.

I think griffin will be the next karl malone and hill will be the next jermaine o'neal.

[2sonwildcat]

Agreed. Griffin is a great player, but Hill is a natural. They will both be All Stars very soon.

[maxurbahn]

yeah thats true, knicks will be great w/ him

[hulidaper]

michael jordan and grant hill combined? this will be the best

[RamZodiac]

Did the warriors just pick stephen curry to spite the knicks??? Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry are NOT going to mesh..........

[TheDeftGamer]

all this guy has is dunks and rebounds. im not happy with it.

[maxurbahn]

why didn't they draft this guy. Curry was supposed to go to the knicks. Warriors have to many guards.but you know what, hill will do well with the knicks

[brxazilian]

Monta Ellis & Stephon Curry dont mix

[adrian199151]

I think he will 2, n i think we better off with him. Warriors are gonna make some big trades

[purezz]

nothing special

[SupremeGodSon]

D'Antoni loves to run an uptempo style of play so he seems like he's going to fit right in with my Knicks so let's see what happens.

[rOracle408]

Please don't draft Jordan Hill. He is just not a basketball player. FUTURE IKE DIOGU. Let's not let that happen again....

[JWiLLfoReaL]

No Jordan Hill is no where near a ike diogu. He is the second best PF coming out in the draft after blake griffin. Ike was not ranked second best PF in draft.

[rOracle408]

They are both soft overrated big men, that were late bloomers, with less then polished offensive games.

[bayareacollection]

not very eloquent, horrible passer...dude is chris wilcox

warriors need a point

[JWiLLfoReaL]

We just trading Crawford to Hawks for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton. Warriors will waive Claxton. So we have a PG. Now we need a PF. Jordan Hill is ranked second in PF behind Blake Griffin.

[bayareacollection]

who is the point guard? monta cant play it...acie law is a proven bust....anthony randolph is our pf, biedrins at C

[JWiLLfoReaL]

Acie Law is the point guard man. He not a bust. He just didn't work well in that system. He would be so much of a better player at the running game. Now I hope we draft Hill.

[zbjordan23]

love how the warriors have a wall with their picks every year...you can tell they suck because all those names are good players...which means they get high picks every year...lol

[SAMRL22]

SI predicts the raps will pick him. meh I think he looks decent hopefully he'll di good

[starks463]

lol at him being the next Amare this guy is so so, he doesn't even have an ounce of the explosiveness Amare has. The only thing that has him rated the number two pf is that he has a descent jump shot which can be effective in pick and rolls. He may go high in the draft, but i can see him slipping... i hope my knicks don't pick him.

[TheKooladeGuy]

i hope the bulls manoover some trade or something to get this guy. Derrick Rose with Jordan HIll you cant tell tell me that, that wouldnt be fun to watch.

[supremosemidios]

I love this guy, much better than woodhand thabeet

[backsider578]

let hope we dont pick this guy up, i see him as a future bust

[hendrixgroupie23]

damn all u haters r just mad,, Hill is a under cover star im from tucson ((home of U of A)) and he kept the teams heart beating, along with Chase Budinger and Nic Wise, he has the potential to be a GREAT big man, he is better than tyler hansbrough will ever be... tyler just got more hype cuz he went to NC,, he is the next Amare!!

[hlev123]

if he could handle the ball better he very well could be the next amare

[jrosario92]

i really hope the knicks dont take this dude .he's a dud

[sojjaz]

uhhhh....yeah

[basketballdennis]

he doesn´t even move as a basketball player, weird guy

[Pinoyballin06]

so if they draft a guard than monta wants to be traded cause he wants to play point but i see monta ellis as a sg not pg.

but i hope the warriors could get the best draft for this team

[nateoak10]

that was a complete rumor started by tim kawakami... he said he wants to retire here.. dont listen to people like kawakami,chad ford, john hollinger. they just want to start rumors and controversy

[gswarriorfan21]

rumors say that if warriors draft a guard, monta demands a trade cuz monta wants to play point.

[JWiLLfoReaL]

Not true at all. Ellis already confirmed that he never said that. Monta will be a sg sometime a PG. We drafting a PG i bet. Stack will be a SF. AR will be a PF he has gotten a little more bigger. Last Andris a C im sure he will improve in the off season.

[N8N408]

warriors make it so complicated. We NEED A PG!!!!!

Golden state warriors lineup.

crawford/monta - they are not pure pg but got game

jackson/morrow - deadly shooters

azuibuike/magette - tell me why we let pietrus go and signed magette for multiple years when we raised pietrus...

randolph/wright - work on jumpshots.... but beasts inside

beans/turiaf - the cutting/shot blocking bigmen

we need a pure point guard, if not atleast a extra PF/C .. someone like STOUDEMIRE!! TRADE FOR HIM PLEASE :)

[idkmybffALEXXX]

This guy has like a 90% chance of becoming a Warrior if he doesn't get selected in the first 6 picks. Monta Ellis has not been happy with the Warriors organization because they've been scouting point guards to draft and Monta wants to be point guard next year. So don't be surprised if he gets drafted because Monta is frustrated that the Warriors are even cosidering about drafting a point guard.

[YVPrecise]

Monta's just being a drama queen.

Larry Riley better not be pussy whipped by Monta, I don't want Ellis making the decision on who Golden State will draft.

[tweetie35]

I love me some Monte,His sweet dunks & in the paint hustle but Monte can be unhappy all he want he FUCKED himself, & has yet to show he can lead this team as a point guard!! (hes still just a Guard) & playing on Mopeds & such! He need to get that ankle to 100% before trying to be upset about anything.

[idkmybffALEXXX]

Yeah Exactly.

[JAYhoangg]

stutter steps alot

[tweetie35]

warriors need a point guard and a center bad call some plays to get this team to a final or at least a prost season..

[thizz99]

we need a point guard but not a center do u noe who andris biedrins or ronny turiaf is??

[hmmBEEFY]

turiaf is better as a power foward

[tweetie35]

Ronny Turiaf is a big man and leader in Blocks but is NOT a center sweetie Tuiaf is a Power forward and he gets lost on the rebounds sometimes..Andris Biedriņš is a beast in the paint but he needs help he cant play at 100% the whole game. Dont get me wrong when Biedrins got hurt last year ,Turiaf did a great job but he aint no Biedrins!!

[thizz99]

thats y that combo of ronny and AB is goin to be crazy but if jordan hill is there at #7 then dubs should pick him up

[dapnoi134]

he'd look good ina Warriors uni

[oakeysmokey]

If he is at #7 get him.

He could always be trade bait.

[jayOLAY]

i dont think we gave monta a chance at the point. he played less than 15 games at the position! of course he's not gonna be spectacular. but with time, i bet he will be a force to be reckoned with

i like jordan hill, because he gets rebounds and has a mid-range threat

so the lineup could be

Biedrins

Hill

Randolph

Jackson

Ellis

[tweetie35]

he didnt give hiself a chance playing on mopeds a such..this year he should step up but hes still not a point guard just a guard and maybe a shoting guard maybe!!

[jayOLAY]

thats true.

OR id rather trade the pick for a veteran guard that we KNOW can be a true point guard, instead of gambling on a young college guy that might eventually do well

[amatian]

the Warriors don't need another forward, they need a point guard

[inpact]

I like him, but we don't need another PF. We have Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph already. Lets hope Randolph gets to play SF so Wright doesn't have to sit while Randolph plays PF.

[KicknHellaRockz510]

lol bou time somebody else feelz da same way..imagine this:

C-Biedrins(a better Marcus Camby)

PF-Wright(I still compare him to Bosh and his stats are better then what David West had in his first two years so imagine wat Wright can do)

SF-Randolph(Lamar Odom with more heart and athleticism)

[lilbeast19]

very good player

[Roney408]

Looks good.
