Thirty years ago, Grant Hill was drafted in the first round by the Detroit Pistons and former players like Gilbert Arenas, who played in a different era, are still talking about him today.
He simply referred to him as "Prototype No. 1." Arenas and Hill played at different times, but he grew up emulating the former Duke star.
Thirty years ago, Hill was the No. 3 pick in the NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. Arenas said it marked the beginning of a new era in basketball when the point forward came into the game. There was Scottie Pippen before but Hill took it to another level. "I saw what happened when the prototype number one came into the league. You all didn't know what to do with it, which was Grant Hill," Arenas said in a YouTube videotwo years ago. "A two guard, three guard who actually went left or right. Y'all didn't know what was going on. You had Tim Hardaway, who had the Timmy cross, but you never had a 2-3 that actually crossed that fast."Arenas compared Hill to Scottie Pippen, but with better moves off the dribble.
"He was barbecuing . Pippen, Jordan and Rodman with the crossover, he couldn't shoot a lick, a younger Grant Hill didn't shoot very well." Arenas said. But, he got to the basket like no other."Scott Salomon joined FanNation on Sports Illustrated in April 2024 covering breaking news and analysis for the Miami Dolphins channel. In June he joined Inside the Heat and Back in the Day NBA.
