Looking like the old Grant Hill

Is Phoenix reclamation project Grant Hill all the way back after essentially seven wasted years in Orlando? It sure looks that way. The former (future?) All-Star is off to a promising start in the Valley of the Sun.

“Grant Hill is definitely a nice acquisition for them,” Avery Johnson said yesterday. “He can handle the ball and make plays off the dribble, and they’re still one of the top teams in the Western Conference. Especially any time a team shows up with Steve Nash and [Amaré] Stoudemire and [Shawn] Marion, and has a host of role players.”
