I've been telling people this for years. Many actually argue as if its Penny > Hill UNQUESTIONABLY even disregarding the footage/stats.Penny was really good, but he wasn't on the same level as Grant Hill. A year before he got injured, Hill was averaging 26ppg, 7 rpg, 5 apg, and 1.5 spg while being the main ball handler on his team. He was Lebron before Lebron.
Pre-injury Rose was clearly better than Penny though.
So it goes like this Grant Hill > Rose > Penny
Hill and Rose are arguable, but I do agree that Penny is 3rd when comparing these 3. Grant Hill was incredible, he started mastering that mid-range jumpshot during that last season in Detroit...the league was officially aware that he was next.
Then his ankles gave out...and went to Orlando
