George Hill

The Jazz struggled mightily last season to get solid production from the point guard position in the absence of Dante Exum. Whether Hill starts or comes off the bench for Exum, the Jazz will undoubtedly be better.

Hill is the perfect example of an all-around point guard; he can score from in the paint and behind the arc, is a willing and unselfish passer, plays lock-down perimeter defense and is an exceptional rebounder for his size.  Everything about his game suggests he will fit in perfectly in Quin Snyder’s offense and defense.
