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.

Overview

Jordan Craig Hill (born July 27, 1987) is an American former professional basketball player. Hill played college basketball for the Arizona Wildcats before he was drafted eighth overall in the 2009 NBA draft by the New York Knicks. He was traded in the middle of his rookie season to the Houston Rockets, and was again involved in a midseason trade to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011–12.
