My Take
Jordan Hill is the sort of player I instinctively root for: a 208 cm big man out of Atlanta who sharpened his game at Arizona and went eighth overall in the 2009 NBA draft. Drafted by the Knicks, then dealt to the Rockets and later the Lakers, his career looks like a string of midseason trades, but I read that differently. Length and rebounding are always in demand, and teams keep trading for the guys who do the unglamorous interior work. He was never the marquee name, yet basketball simply does not function without players willing to bang in the paint. I respect that kind of quiet usefulness.
