Here Peter May talks about him in another 'humanitarian' piece.

Fantasy Impact

Hill has actually finally given himself (and his ankle) enough time to recover. If it holds up, he should be able to play as well as any 32-year-old in the league. The article mentions that he was never below 19.9 ppg with Detroit. And even in his short stints with the Magic, he put up numbers worth talking about.

Hill will be the 2nd or 3rd option, presumably (after Francis, and Mobley, maybe). He'll probably be in front of Turkoglu with regard to taking shots. I'd peg him around 15 ppg, 7rpg, and 4-5 apg. Not bad numbers at all. Also consider that he shot 49% from the field and 82% from the free-throw line in his last 29 games.

If you're in a beginner league, you can probably grab Hill a little late, since most people will have forgotten about him by now. And even those who are aware may not be willing to take a chance on him. If it comes down to it, I'd rather take a chance on G-Hill than, say, C-Webb. That's probably a matter of personal preference, but I'll inject my personal preference since we're looking at a humanitarian piece.

Count it.
