Jordan Hill: The King of Hustle Points
By Mike Garcia
Jordan Hill had a bit of a breakout year last season. It started in November, when he had a 21-point, 11-rebound game in 26 minutes of play. He followed that up with a couple of 20-10 games. But, as his playing time went up, his energy level dropped. He finished the end of the week with double-doubles, but didn’t look like himself.
It took him more than half of the season to get that playing time again. During the month of April, he averaged 29 minutes per game, scoring 16.6 points per game and 10.1 rebounds per game. Defensively, he averaged 1.75 blocks per game as well. He also got a career high of 28 points against the Orlando Magic.

If ever there was a peek into what Jordan Hill could provide with starters minutes, that month of April was it. Those would be great numbers to get across the board at the center position.
