<div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Turns out that Grant Hill, again on the well-worn comeback trail, is already practicing with the Magic. Well, to an extent. It was a sight not seen in over a year: Hill, wearing his practice jersey, running though plays near the end of the team's workout on Sunday at RDV SportsPlex. Afterward, he stayed to play an every-man-for-himself playground game of "21" against guard Shammond Williams and center Zaza Pachulia. Hill moved well on his rehabbed left ankle, stopping, starting and shooting.</div> Full Story
Yeah the Magic need all the help they can get and Hill getting hurt again won't help out at all. Hopefully he decides to wait until next season to play. We need him at 100%.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After his three false starts, the nervous franchise would rather Grant not return until next season. The Magic want him to sit out and build up to training camp in October. </div> that's whats wrong all the fans are scare..is natural..after 3 false starts...but I think this is his last opportunity.... <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hill wants to find out soon how his ankle -- and the rest of his body -- responds. Waiting until October means he will have been without basketball for about 20 months. Way too long. </div> I agree.
That first article you posted just brought something to my mind.. The management IS THINKING!!! This must be a sign for some good.. They relise that this season is lost.. Grant Hill returning this season and playing more than a game would be a risk.. I applaud their thinking.. I've spoken about Grant Hill coming back this season would be pointless.. If hes so eager and just wants to test it... Why not test it on the last game.. Aginst the 6ers.. The sixers should have their spot locked it.. The magic will be playing for draft postion, and no one would care or not who won the game... No one would be pressured and it would be to see if he can actually play a game.. Other than that, dont step onto the court game wise.. Practice all he wants.. But playing in a game in a season thats lost is a bad idea.. So you just agree? I mean.. Thats a valid point, for whoever said that.. But "Without Basketball" is a stretch from the truth.. He will be practicing.. He will be playing in Summer Training.. And he can play Preseason.. Before the season even starts hes going to have a lot of rust shaken off, all the rust besides playing in a actual game.. Besides, Hill is a veteran. I am sure he knows what hes doing when he goes out there on the floor.. If he can shoot and play, hes gonna have no trouble at all.. Rust shouldnt be a factor after the first/second game..
Chemistry will be the big issue. Hill's a veteran, he will make the best out of the chemistry issue. I hope the Magic do what Cleveland did with Zydrunas. Only play him 15-20 mins a game at the start, no more, even if we need him down the stretch. Don't overuse him.
