    NAME: Grant Hill

    POSITION: Small forward.

    YEARS IN THE LEAGUE: 10th season.

    SCHOOL CROSSING: Hill attended Duke University and helped the Blue Devils win back-to-back championships in 1991 and 1992.

    CONSTRUCTION ZONE: He has to basically stay healthy after undergoing four surgeries on his left ankle. If he can play in at least 70 games, the Magic have a shot at making the playoffs.

    SPEED BUMP AHEAD: He feels that his last surgery did the trick, but he knows there is no guarantee -- judging from past experience -- that the ankle will hold up through the pounding of an NBA season.

    FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS: If -- and that's a big IF -- he can remain healthy, Hill might be able to average 15-16 points and six rebounds a game and play some point forward.

    This was made around Halloween before the season started. She had no idea whether Grant Hill would be healthy or whether Dwight Howard would be effective so that is why it said we have a shot at the playoffs. Now it looks as if we will make it.

    I didn't even write the first half of the article, it was done by Orlando Sentinel.

    I said:
