Grant Hill in PHX?



What would you think will be Grant Hill's role in the phoenix suns next season? starter? reliever? role player or just another Jalen Rose?

Now I know there are basketball fans who are always going to be critical with Grant Hill and his injuries. Yes it will always be an issue with him. I believe he will fit in with the Suns. When he is healthy, he will be important to the team especially when Nash goes to the bench. He will be a role player somehow, but not like Jalen Rose, because he is alot better of a player then Jalen. I think this is a step in the right direction in the Suns making a true deeper bench. They still got more work to do on that. As far as Hill being a starter, we will not really know until the Suns are done with all their offseason moves.
I think that going after Grant Hill is the not the only move they are going to make. I believe that the team is gearing up for a possible "blockbuster deal", but right now especially after the draft they will take their time and behind the scenes will be working for a trade. Some would say to not do anymore then they have with the signing of Hill, but they do need a big man and I know that is the one things that is always said about the Suns needs.
I myself am a big Suns fan and I agree with what the true basketball minds have said when comming to that. I think the team is one or two great players away from finally getting that first championship. I say stay tuned as the preseason draws near as well as training camp and lets see what the Phoenix Suns will look like. I will say this: There are other teams in the Western Conference like the Spurs and Mavs who are awesome, but I say don't countout the Phoenix Suns. GO SUNS!
productive off the bench for 10-15 min per game. The Suns starting 5 are fine, they need to get deeper on the bench and that was their goal.
Hill should be a 6th man type player that comes off the bench for a spark. I expect he'll get about 25 minutes per game, and score 12-14 points while playing some defense. He'll give them a great spark off the bench, will be a fan favorite, and should come through in clutch situations for them. Excited to see a great veteran with a shot to finally play on a competitive team.

Even with all of Hill's injuries,when he's been healthy he's been able to put up starter numbers. I'm sure competition for Diaw's spot won't make Diaw happy but you know Grant Hill has a shot to start.
I think he can start. You are talking about the man who made one of the greatest plays in college basketball history.
Grant Hill is past his prime I say another Jalen Rose
as a primary backup player, i wouldn't get why the suns would add him. i like hill and will be cheering for him, but i couldn't see phoenix, a team that basically likes to run on every possession they can, signing an aging, injury-prone player to play 25+ min/g

if they wanted to add him to the team as more of a level-headed veteran leader, though, i think this would make much more sense. i would like the move in this case. hill's experience (5-time all-NBA, 7-time all-star, Olympic gold medal winner) should provide help in the playoffs and locker room while also being serviceable in short amounts on the court (last year: 14.4 ppg, 3.6 r/g, 2.1 a/g, .94 s/g, 51.8% fg). i think hill would be much more effective as a phoenix sun if he played closer to 10-20 min/g
