Los Angeles Lakers: Why Jordan Hill Should Not Be Undervalued in 2012 Season

Published: September 5, 2012Posted in: LA LakersTags:
Drafted as the eighth overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, center Jordan Hill was never a heavy contributor to a team.  Dealing with injury for the most part during his first year as a Laker, Hill was able to finish the last five regular season games as well as both playoff series against the Nuggets and Thunder.
