In an NBA sense, no.

But... he played in the NBA... wasn't like he was a gold medal track and field guy.

If you bend the definition to a nebulous definition that you determine then it really isn't meaningful. Strength, speed, jumping ability, coordination, flexibility are all part of athleticism and all are beneficial on the basketball court.

I love IT's heart and unconquerable spirit. If he stays healthy he could make Orlando really fun to watch. In the Anemia East he might even push his way into an all-star game.

Is he not an upgrade to Neto? Could he not be our instant offense off the bench?

Everything is relative.

I can define anything how I like, its just my opinion and as he relates to other NBA players, no he wasn't athletic.
 
Hoopshype shows David Stockton as guaranteed contract. Is that correct?

I'm a long time jazz fan and a sucker for nostalgia and sentimentality, but keeping him doesn't make sense to me.

If Rubio is a PG and Neto is a PG (who is also Rudy's best friend), and Grayson, Exum, and Mitchell all play the 1 or 2 that is a solid stable of Guards.

The other perplexity is paying Udoh and Bradley to be back-up Centers when you are paying Rudy and Favors alot of money. Those two seem to duplicate each other as teh low-paid project we hope never has to play.

He could if he greatly improved. I just quoted what my prediction was from the post you originally quoted. You are really struggling with this word if. Do they not use that in NZ? Maybe this discussion is a language barrier and not you just being obtuse.

Again you are avoiding making a prediction and running away scared. Its fine ill move on. You dont want to be on record guessing what he will get, you just want to make fun of other peoples predictions. Well, make fun of stuff that is not their prediction and ignore their real prediction.

I dunno how much of that was about trying to keep Hayward happy though? Would we do that in another situation?

Why wouldn’t we have tried harder to re-sign Hill in the offseason then if it was to make Hayward happy?

Even if I for a second believed the front office would even do that — what happens when Mitchell wants to keep Rubio around?

So am I.

Im comparing him against his peers.

As am I, there is not one thing that makes you athletic or not in the NBA. There is no set standard for when someone is or isnt athletic in the NBA. This is the field I work in and try and predict and develop athleticism in athletes to help them succeed. Any high level athlete has abilities that make them athletic, that is what makes them succeed in my opinion.

Oh, now you edited it for this. You implied I was using the general public as reference so that is why I corrected you. So obviously its not a no **** sherlock because you did not understand that, NBD.

Hill is on nearly $20m contract currently and I don't think he's worth that right now.
