I get why people might lump them together, but there are several huge differences between the two, and any one of those differences by itself (let alone all of them together) should be enough to keep Hill's name out of a Wes hater's mouth, so to speak.
1. Hill is getting his game rhythm back after a long layoff.
2. Hill still looks adequately quick, whereas Wes looks anchored in place at times and has the career-altering injury history to match.
3. Hill had great advanced stats for several consecutive months before he got hurt, whereas I'm not sure Wes has had 3 decent games in a row all season.
The only evidence that Hill is washed up is the past few weeks after a 6-week layoff for a non-mobility injury, which is a pretty puny data set. All I care about is whether he can still move well after the injury, and he looks fine. Wes on the other hand has looked completely washed up, both physically and skill-wise, for 2 full years.
Wut we've got here is... faaailure... to communakate.
