Luol Deng ends up in Utah (Rumour)

^some peeps have gotten their wires crossed. George Hill being confused with Solomon Hill.

Let me clarify the confusion: George Hill = awesome; Solomon Hill = not good.


(for the record, I first mentioned Solomon Hill because I thought he'd be the sort of value guy that HH is talking about. The figures associated with his name are b-a-n-a-n-a-s)

Maybe. If Hill shoots the 3pt shot like he did post-all star break and and in the playoffs, he is a better offensive player than Ingles.

Book shot 36% from 3 after the break... you believin it?

Deng and Hill are TREMENDOUS upgrades over Ingles and Booker. Both are better than league average starters for one. Ingles and Booker will NEVER be even poor rotational starters. We have our project, his name is Trey Lyles. He is still two years out from being something special. Quincy Acy, Brandon Bass, and Booker don't move the needle at all, and we need to stop wasting people's time with these type of pickups. Settling for chumps like these helps build Utah's rep as a "poor free agency destination." Nobody wan't to share a billing with those guys.

Acy is likely as good as Hill... better shooter better rebounder. Probably not as good at guarding wings. Will be a third the cost of Hill.

Deng is better than all right now, but has never given back anything in negotiations (ask Danny Ferry) and is on the decline and will likely have a steep drop off.

We have our main 8 guys... don't overpay for the 9th guy in a market that will be bat **** crazy.

Acy is a 4/5 who can't guard wings and is more of a interior player who will hit some jumpers. To call him a better shooter than Hill is ignorant. Career numbers are the same % wise, but Hill has a lot more attempts (and Hill has shown for stretches he can hit a high % with a high volume, projects to grow as a shooter). Everyone knows Hill is a better shooter. If you told DL that Acy was a better pickup as our 4th wing because he could shoot better he would laugh at you.

On .6 attempts and he has an ugly shot. Not really comparable.

Hill went 19-46 second half
Booker went 6-17 second half

Both samples sizes suck and should not be relied on.

Take away the last game of the year for Hill... a meaningless game against Milwaukee... he went 7-11. Hill shot 12-35 on 34%

You can project him as a 41% shooter if you'd like... whoever signs him will talk themselves into it. It is a mistake.
