Grant Hill has only played in 135 games for the Orlando Magic in the six seasons before this one and he’s never been the same player he was in Detroit because of injuries.  But, he’s looked pretty good so far this season.  Hill is averaging 14.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game so far this season.  The Magic should be able to limit his minutes in an effort to keep him healthy this season because of their deep bench.  The team is much better when Hill is on the floor….so they must keep him healthy!
