George Hill still unclear about his role with Cavs
A quote from George Hill says a lot about some of the issues with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hill said prior to Game 3 of the playoffs between the Cavs and Indiana Pacers that he was still unsure about his role with the team.
On ESPN, @saltersl is interviewing George Hill on-court before Cavs-Pacers. Asks him what his role is on this Cavs team; he says "I don’t know, I’m still trying to figure it out." Says for tonight, if team focuses on defense, offense will follow.

Hill was one of the players brought in by the Cavaliers as part of a massive roster overhaul at the trade deadline. The team got rid of Derrick Rose, Isaiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, Jae Crowder, Channing Frye and Iman Shumpert. They brought in Hill, Rodney Hood, Larry Nance Jr and Jordan Clarkson. That was only two months ago.
Hill’s comments seem to underscore just how tough it is to make things mesh and figure things out after so much roster shuffling. Overall, the Cavs are getting about what they expected out of him, as he’s putting up similar numbers to when he was with the Kings.
