New New York
Quiet Storm
Well its only two games into Summer League, but here are somethings that I like and do not like about our number 8 pick
Dislikes
Not a shotblocker
goes to the jumper a little too often
average defender (Austin Daye got whatever he wanted against him)
Average FT shooter (but has a nice touch)
Needs to get stronger
Has not shown the "explosiveness" nor the ability to run the floor that was talked about upon drafting him
Now to end on positive note
Likes
Decent Mid-Range Game
Hustle player
Rebounding
Poise (Especially after a tough first half of his first game)
Looked good against a much taller Thabeet
Nice passer
Will try to block shots
Can finish around the basket
reads defense well (against Summer League comp.)
Higher Basketball IQ. than he was giving credit for in his Pre Draft report
Hill wont be a rookie of the year canidate, which I do not mind, because I think it is better that we bring him along slow. I predict he averages 7 pts and like 4 rebs this year, and will get better each season.
Dead the Amare comparisons for now, but could be accurate down the road
