i think most Pels fans have lost the plot on Hill.

certainly has flaws. but he does bring things to the table- which, unfortunately for him, usually don't show up in his box score (his on/off numbers are interesting). his salary, while an overpay, isn't Mozgov or Crabbe level insane (he's around $8M in an old cap world).

ETA- his contract is why FA/cap space is fools' gold for NO. Pels aren't signing FA worth anything unless they overpay. hell, they're likely going to overpay Holiday to stay with the team. they need to strengthen scouting/player development for the projects they are going to sign.


now, if the conversation wants to get more nuanced, i do think there will be some trouble if they plan to play him exclusively as a 3 next to Davis/Cousins. he's a small 4 on offense. i'd like to see him play a good bit next to either Davis or Cousins. we'll see what happens w/ the backcourt, but i would think they need to take a flier on a 3 or two that can shoot.

maybe they can fix Hill's shot, but his skill set on offense seems to be a very poor fit for what his role looks like in the new era
