You've got three awesome SF's in their prime. Who was the greatest?

Pippen.

If we saw Hill's prime for longer, he'd have more of a case for #1.

Pip was the best defender of the bunch by a LONG shot and a passer of at least comparable value to Hill, maybe better. He was a good scorer but not on the level of either Hill or Worthy... but close enough to Hill that it's not a big deal.

Hill was a great rebounder, a great passer, a great scorer...

Worthy had his moments and was a great player but he doesn't really figure into this comparison well. He's definitely third on the list, 'Big Game James' and his Finals MVP notwithstanding.

Pippen is the better of the 3. Jordon would have won his titles without Pippen.
