Early Predictions For Where Top 2017 NBA Free Agents Will Sign

11. George Hill, PG, Utah Jazz (Unrestricted)

Where he will sign: Utah Jazz

Since landing with the Jazz, George Hill has solidified his status as an upper-echelon point guard. While I wouldn’t go as far as calling him a superstar, Utah has absolutely enjoyed his presence on the way to their first division title since the 2007-08 campaign.

Seeing how well this past season has gone, why would Hill want to change it up? Although Utah is going to be tight on cap space with re-signing Gordon Hayward being a top priority, they should be able to sign him to a deal that fits his fancy.

I honestly don’t think he wants to be anywhere else at this point.

I’m sure other teams will give his agent a ring if he hits the open market. With the importance of having a strong point guard in today’s NBA, Hill would be a hot commodity.

However, considering the progress the Jazz have made this season, I believe he’ll want to return and see how much further they can get with another year to mesh.

When it comes down to it, I don’t see the Jazz letting their core fall apart this offseason. If they’re going to spend whatever it takes to re-signing Hayward, they shouldn’t scoff at the idea of paying Hill as well. The only way he gets away is if Utah simply decides he isn’t worth the asking price.
