Utah is dumbbbb
Hill for 12???
You could have signed him as a FA last season
Hill wasn't a FA last season. Maybe you're confusing him with Monta Ellis?
Whatever the case is... he is not that good
Utah could have also went with Deytona Davis .
Regardless, Hill's better than anyone else they got at point guard currently and they would have rather gotten someone more proven than wait for another young guard to develop. It's a win-now move for a team that's desperate to convince their pseudostar to stay past this upcoming season.
He is not better than gobert
Gobert's a point guard?
What about exum
Keyword is "currently". Last time the world checked in on Exum, he came off an uneventful rookie season where he looked pretty raw. Then he tore his ACL last summer knocking him out for the season. I think Exum could be really good in the same way I think Smart could be really good, but their development will take time, so right now, Exum's largely unproven. This deal tells me that the Jazz don't want to take their chances of relying on him as their point guard at the moment because Exum hasn't proven much/coming off a serious injury while Hill has at least proven he can be a starting point guard on a good team.
I want to reiterate the word, "currently". I think Hill is their best point guard on the roster right now, but Exum could be a great a few years down the line.
