Collison Benched in Favor of George Hill

Frank Vogel may not make George Hill the starting point guard, but what he did during the fourth quarter Tuesday was just as effective.

Vogel went with Hill over Darren Collison the entire fourth quarter.

You can’t blame Vogel for making that call.

Hill scored 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting, dished out six assists and didn’t have any turnovers in 28 minutes off the bench. Collison, meanwhile, had four points, two assists and a turnover in 25 minutes.

“George Hill was the hottest guy on floor,” Vogel said. “He did a good job. He got six assists, no turnovers. A heck of a night. He made a number of plays late in the shot clock that really bust the game open. We’re always going to go with the hot hand down the stretch. He was the guy.”
