Hill has had some great, great games this year. But he is just as likely to have terrible ones. This article talks about that and given where he is in his career, I am not sure why that will change going forward. However, from here on out, when he has a bad game, we are going to lose and go home
***********************
Florida senior point guard Kasey Hill has received a challenge from his head coach this week.
Each time Hill turns the ball over in practice, the 6-foot-1 former McDonald’s All-American point guard is going to be forced to run.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Hill said. “I’m going to have to stop turning the ball over in order for this team to go far. We need to value the ball more.”
Point guard play is a point of contention for the Gators heading into this week’s SEC Tournament. It’s hard to suggest benching Hill, who on Tuesday was named an All-SEC defender and on the All-SEC second team. But with junior point guard Chris Chiozza more of a perimeter threat and leading the SEC in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.5-1), an argument can be made that Chiozza deserves a larger share of the minutes running the team.
Florida coach Mike White had both Chiozza and Hill on the floor down the stretch in UF’s 73-71 loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday. But it was Hill who brought the ball up with a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds. Hill missed a driving layup with 6.7 seconds left.
Hill is averaging 3.9 turnovers over his last seven games with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 25 to 27. He had five turnovers in the Vanderbilt loss, including three within the first five minutes of the game.
