Welcome George Hill

Hill is on the same vibe as Doc, kind of troubling if you ask me

That quote standing alone, makes it sound dire. Right after that, he said," the progress has been tremendous. It’s been really going well. It’s going to be sooner than expected.”

I know he’s a veteran plug and play. But you just can’t show up for the playoffs cold after missing 3 months. He needs 3-4 games conditioning to get his legs back.

As mentioned before Doc was speaking from having the injury himself. But, procedures may have changed. He was mainly saying that as a guard, his hand will get wacked. Considering they're the top seed and didn't trade anyone to get him....I understand wanting him to get right before the playoffs.

But, I'm really excited to see him play with this team. Given the glaring need for his overall skillet, and overall talent he'll play off of... It should really increase the dynamic nature of this group.

He doesn't need to start, but his 2 way nature should make him a closer. A also gives Doc 4 legit options to close games with the big 3. Depending on how they're playing that game.... Between Seth, Danny, Shake and Hill.... I guess Thybulle too. Would be nice to get him back with about aa month left to work out rotations.

He will be back with more than enough time for that barring a setback. The playoffs start May 22.

The first round should be a 3-4 game conditioning if he comes back for the playoffs. I don't think the Knicks or Celtics will give us much trouble in a playoff series where we have home court advantage.

A pure point guard for our dominant center. Classic combination. I can’t hardly wait.

Is there any update of when he returns?

Is there any update of when he returns?

Mike Breen said it could be by next week tonight on the broadcast.

He didn't say any sources such as a conversation with the coach or anything. But I'm sure it came from somewhere

Biid is better than Giannis so imagine Biid making these shots rather than Giannis throwing up hail mary floaters.

And Tobi is kind of similar to Middleton. I like Middleton better.

But i think we’re projecting a similar line-up to this where Bucks ends the game with GHill-Brogdon, which could possibly be similar to GHill-Shake. They’re just basically setting Middleton-Giannis/Biid-Tobi for scoring opportunities.

These two guys are not as good as Bucks top guys but their ability to play secondary or tertiary playmaking, space the floor and defense compliments well with Giannis-Middleton.

Ben also can run DHO actions like his favorite action set in crunch time which is the invert screen where he can fake a DHO to drive or simply just to kickout to a shooter.

Absolute worst scenario (im talking about desperate scenarios so calm down) is we have a guy like Green playing (instead of Ben) playing Brolo’s role here with just spacing the floor. This is in a scenario where a team would neutralize Ben (which we’ve seen in the past like the first Celts series or some games in the Raps series).

Doc: “I’m optimistic...sometime next week.”

Hill has been upgraded to questionable for Monday’s game vs. the warriors.
Good news.

Fun fact - George Hill ranks 9th in the NBA in 3 year Luck Adjusted RAPM (one spot behind Embiid). There's a reason aspiring championship teams have repeatedly pursued him in recent years. Two way players that can function well both on and off ball are extremely valuable.

Hill is similar to Danny Green. Doesn't put up big numbers, but crushes in impact metrics that measure how much he helps teams win.

Not surprised at all Morey got both of them. They provide value in excess of their contracts.

And both can hang when it gets tight in the playoffs.

Definitely. They're both ideal in terms of complementary players to surround around a team with established stars. Pretty excited to see how he fits in and wouldn't be surprised to see him starting in place of Curry at some point. Glad we have him for next year too. He's pretty much as good as you can get at his price point as a fit next to Simmons/Embiid.

Be great if he would play tonight against the Warriors. Lord Curry is gonna scorch us.

[SRM82]

My god play already

He might not even play. He rolled his ankle last game and is questionable.

Two and a half years ago, when everyone was wondering when the 76ers would finally use their cap space, I remember a Nate Ducan podcast, where they were saying the perfect signings for the 76ers would be two of Danny Green, George Hill or Avery Bradley. Now here we are.

Yeah I've wanted George Hill and Danny Green for years. Hard pass on Avery Bradley though.

I'm not surprised at all though - Morey has always valued 3 and D players, and Hill and Green have basically always been the best of the best.
