Utah Jazz: Why Hasn’t George Hill Been Extended?

George Jesse Hill Jr. has been a great addition to the Utah Jazz this season. The Jazz made a bold move of trading their 2016 lottery draft pick for the veteran point guard in a move that signaled the rebuilding stage was over.

The Jazz had been stuck on a point guard carousel for years after trading away franchise point guard Deron Williams in 2011. The keys to the team were then passed between Devin Harris, Mo Williams, Trey Burke, Dante Exum, Raul Neto and finally Shelvin Mack at the end of last season.

Although they were given plenty of opportunity, none of these floor generals were quite able to take the team to the next level.
