Jordan Hill

Position: Power Forward
Age: 29
Experience: 8 Seasons
2016-17 Season Averages: 6.7 MPG, 1.7 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 0.0 APG, 0.1 SPG, 0.0 3PM

Jordan Hill came in at 15th for minutes played. In his eight-year career, this was the least amount of minutes he played with 6.7 per game. In addition to minutes, he finished with a career low in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.

The Minnesota Timberwolves clearly don’t see a future with Hill. He didn’t get a fair opportunity to contribute to the team at all. Unfortunately, he’s signed for one more season.

Expect the Wolves to deal him in a trade to attempt to get a player they will use.

Despite this forgettable campaign, Hill has some solid NBA seasons under his belt. Most recently with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2014-15 season.

He averaged 12.0 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. This was accomplished playing a career-high 26.8 minutes a game.

Hill can still contribute to a team in need of frontcourt depth. The Minnesota Timberwolves should have no problem dealing him in a trade if they truly see no future with him moving forward.
