Someone seriously posted that Hill might not be that good because he doesn't get a ton of assists?

Get out of here with that. A lot of our scoring opportunities come from Hill, Hayward, and Hood creating for themselves off of the pick and roll. Just because Hill doesn't average 7+ assists a game doesn't mean he's not a true point guard.

He takes care of the ball at a league-best standard. He doesn't turn the ball over very often. He's a stable yet assertive ball-handler who can get the shots that he wants fairly often throughout the game.

The definition of "true point guard" probably has to be changed in the modern era.

Would love to see Burks get all of macks minutes. Bring back some triple wing.

How many points does Lavine get in garbage time? Every game I watch he seems to step up late in games that are pretty much out of reach. I have watched very few of his games this season though.

Looks like I was partially right. He shoots the most shots in 2nd and the 4th. But in the 4th he is only shooting 32%. He gets to the line more in the fourth but his ft percentage drops way off.

When his team is behind by 5 or less he shoots 32%. When his team is tied he shoots 42%. When his team is ahead or behind by 10 or more his FGA is 19.2 vs 11 FGA when the game is within 10 which is the majority (25.8) of his minutes vs 21.4 of his minutes in the ahead or behind by 10 or more category. So his shots per minute go way up when they are behind or ahead by a lot.
 
I was pretty disappointed Wiggins or LaVine didnt try to dunk on Gobert. I wanted to see some fireworks at teh rim.
 
Also Kris Dunn freaking sucks. Maybe we can trick the Wolves into taking Shelvin Mack for a 2nd rounder or something. Their PG situation is a mess.

He could likely rack up a couple more assists if he controlled the ball as much as other pgs do. He makes the right play and plays within himself.

Basically he's unlocked our offense and helped ramp up our defense... maybe he's good at basketball and fits in and is actually being used the right way. In his early years I remember thinking the guy would score around 20 a game and was really impressed by him.

I'd trade Burks tomorrow for nothing if it meant retaining this guy... he's a winner and anyone who can't see how damn good he is for us doesn't know basketball.
 
Give Hill teh money... All. Of. It.
