If he could play 35 minutes a night and stay healthy all season & post-season it would be amazing, but this is a guy that hasn't played a full season like that in about 7-8 years since he was in Detroit. It's a pretty big risk to give him extended minutes for 2 main reasons:

1. History of nasty injuries and more playing time increases the risk of injury.

2. Fatigue - he's not used to playing that many minutes or that many games in a season and fatigue also increases the likelihood of injury. Even at 28 mpg, I can see Hill hitting a wall around the all-star break and having his play drop off from fatigue.
