George Hill: Scores 19 points in team debut

It was a solid, yet inefficient night for Hill, who started his first game at point guard for the Jazz. He hit just one of his six three point attempts but converted all four of his free throws. While it remains to be seen how heavy his usage will be in Utah’s backcourt, he’ll be a major scoring option in the short term while Gordon Hayward (finger) remains sidelined. Expect solid production in the scoring and assists categories through the first few weeks of the season.
