George Hill dropped 37 points in an overtime win against the Blazers on Friday night. He recorded 8 assists, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 threes made.
Analysis: George Hill is the weakest link in the Indiana starting five but he still has a place in the fantasy realm. Over the last month of the season Hill is the 29th rated fantasy point guard. He is solid in most guard categories with the exception of assists. Hill is averaging just 3.3 assists per game this year. He’s at about 4 assists per game over the last month but it still isn’t much when compared to other average fantasy point guards like Jeremy Lin and Mario Chalmers.
Hopefully the Portland game is more of a marker of progress than a blip on the radar. Hill does have eight double-digit point games in his last ten games played which is interesting for a player who only averages 10.5 points per game. He also has 12 threes made and 11 steals in that ten game span which means he is consistent in most areas.
Currently, Hill is available in 15-25% of fantasy leagues.
