What kind of numbers would Grant Hill post in today's NBA?

See: LeBron James.

That crossover alone gets him close to 30.

See: LeBron James.

2020 LeBron numbers or prime LeBron numbers?

[red1]

safe to say he'd score a lot more.

2020 LeBron numbers or prime LeBron numbers?

Probably similar-ish totals to LeBron's 2012-17 years.

If Hill played on a crap team scoring might go up to 26+, any quality team I think his rpg and especially apg would dramatically increase.

I'd say he'd top out at 25/10/10 in an ideal season. Prime stats around that with a bit lower apg rpg.


TBH though I think Hill had little bit more of a scorer's mindset than Pippen, but not much.

So that is 26/8/7 for reference.

Which looking at where Grant Hill was at prior to injury plus factoring in scoring is easier today ... that sounds about right.

Grant had a stretch where he was like 21/9/7 or something like that. His first 5 years he was doing between 7-10 rebounds, in an era where the bigs actually played near the paint. So I'll say in this era, closer to the higher end of 9 rebounds. Assists, if he's playing the same point forward role? I'll give him 8. The biggest point of contention with these hypotheticals is how scoring translates. Grant was a slasher, had a great ISO game. As he neared 2000 he was becoming a better mid-range shooter. Not enough of one to be the basis of his game, but more of 'if he's making his jumpshot, forget about it'. Does he develop the 3 in this era? Who knows. Too good an iso player, too much athleticism, and too wide open a lane to think he's not dropping at least 24 even if he barely shoots the 3. He'd be on the line 9-10 times a night. So, something like 24/9/8. He's ideal for a Mike D'Antoni offense in which case, the skys the limit lol.

He's not as good as LeBron, but he was special.

As far as the scoring thing, LeBron and Hill are similar in that they don't always focus on it. Grant had a skill set a little more suited to being a scorer, with said iso game. But LeBron is even better than Hill in the open court and he developed the post game later on (not remembering Grant with one).

Also, LeBron has systems that are tailored around him, so I don't see Hill averaging more.
