George Hill

Another veteran point guard that the Clippers could look into getting is George Hill. Most recently playing with the Utah Jazz, Hill took part in eliminating the Clippers in the first round of the latest post-season.

At 31 years old, Hill will be looking for a team that he can make an impact on while being paid decently. He averages just under 17 points per game with around four assists and three rebounds as well.

What the Clippers will need after this off-season is just something for the in-between. It’ll be a season where they figure out the answers to questionable situations they’ve put themselves in.

And they’ve got no one else to blame.

Hill should be one of their top considerations in free agency without Chris Paul in the picture. Should they neglect who runs the point, they’ll be in more trouble than if they just had to deal without three starters and other bench guys.

Los Angeles would be a good place for Hill. He’s only played for San Antonio, Indiana, and Utah up to this point, so keeping him for one or two seasons at the least is very doable.
