Jordan Hill was the Lakers' second-best player going into December. Now he's not even the second-best player in their frontcourt.
Hill has been rolling downhill since the calendar turned from November, his double-doubles replaced almost entirely by single-singles. His oft-touted energy motor officially stalled with a one-rebound effort Sunday in the Lakers' loss to Phoenix.
Hill, 27, averaged 13.9 points and 9.7 rebounds last month, collecting nine double-doubles. He's averaging 10.6 points and 6.2 rebounds this month with three double-doubles.
