Timberwolves’ Season Grades
By Alex Swendig
Jordan Hill: D-
Similar to Cole Aldrich, Hill was a very forgettable player on the Wolves.
The fact that I had to use his picture from the Minnesota Timberwolves’ media day says it all.
Jordan Hill barely saw the court this season, playing only seven games. In those seven games, he averaged 1.7 points in 6.5 minutes per game.
It was surprising that Hill was not able to get on the court any more than he did. The Timberwolves figured to have plenty of frontcourt minutes given their lack of depth. often using only three big men in any given game.
Throughout the season Tom Thibodeau elected to go very thin up front, often using only three big men in any given game.
Throughout Hill’s career, his PER has hovered around the average range (15.0). It has even been above average that past five seasons with the Lakers and last year with the Indiana Pacers.
This season it dipped all the way down to a career-low 5.5, making him a well below league average player compared to that metric.
Really not much to say about Jordan Hill, given his season lasted 46 minutes.
