3. George Hill

Stats: 20 points, 5 assists

Amidst all of the free agency turmoil this past offseason, the Utah Jazz were heavily criticized for snagging 30-year-old Hill from the Pacers off the scrap heap. Through his first eight NBA seasons, Hill was nothing more than a 11 point, three rebound per game contributor.

Now, here we are nearing the middle of November, and the Jazz might have acquired the biggest free agent steal in recent memory.

To this point, Hill has seemed to gel admirably in Utah, producing career-highs in points (20.4 per game), assists (5.2), and field goal percentage (54.1 percent) through eight games.
