Time will tell if former Arkansas basketball player Steven Hill sticks with the Portland Trailblazers. But the locals are enjoying him while they have him around.

Hill, a 7-footer from Branson, Mo., has spawned a number of blog posts and reports in Oregon. He seems to be a fan favorite even though his career has included one — 1 — actual NBA game appearance.

SBNation.com blog Ridiculous Upside has a roundup of Hill coverage if you’re interested.

It’s got to be the Captain Caveman-eque hair/facial hair that Hill has going that makes him so popular, right?

Other former Razorbacks in the NBA include:

*Patrick Beverley, Miami Heat

*Ronnie Brewer, Chicago Bulls

*Sonny Weems, Toronto Raptors

*Mike Washington, New Orleans Hornets*

(Friend of the blog Dave Barr tells us Washington is now in the NBDL).

And, um, yeah, Joe Johnson, Atlanta Hawks is pretty decent.

Who are we forgetting?
