Correct me if I'm wrong but that list is from November 18?

No : November 25... today.

[tav1]

yes, and according to Hollinger (http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics?sort=per&qual=true&pos=rookies&seasonType=2&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnba %2fhollinger%2fstatistics%3fsort%3dper%26qual%3dtr ue%26pos%3drookies%26seasonType%3d2), Hill is the 6th best rookie. And of course his measures do not attempt to quantify defense.

[I. Hustle]

He will be climbing up there soon enough. He is already better than at least 3 of those.

No : November 25... today.

Oh.

When do they add a new comment? The last one is from the 18th.

[Anti.Hero]

I've been keeping an eye on this list. It is updated throughout the season.

Hill started out ~23rd.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

They've got him ranked 11 spots too low.

[gmanrulz]

look at minutes per game only oden has less

[gmanrulz]

yes, and according to Hollinger (http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/statistics?sort=per&qual=true&pos=rookies&seasonType=2&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnba %2fhollinger%2fstatistics%3fsort%3dper%26qual%3dtr ue%26pos%3drookies%26seasonType%3d2), Hill is the 6th best rookie. And of course his measures do not attempt to quantify defense.

tollivers on there too #25

[The Truth #6]

Doesn't PER take defense into account? Anyway, Hill at #6 is probably a bit high given how it's ranked only by PER, however, with more games, I think #6 could be a realistic spot. There are some pretty good rookies this year.

[K-State Spur]

That's the first time Thorpe has rated him above the 2 Jayhawks that many posters were pissed that RC/Pop passed over in favor of Hill.

Arthur made absolutely no impact whatsoever on the game last night. Iavaroni wasn't about to have him in the game at any point where he might have to guard Duncan.

[lefty]

Oden and lopez higher than Hill ?????????????

Fucking retards

The Spurs might love his low amount of turnovers, but they need some playmakers now. Hill needs to try to earn a permanent spot in the rotation by providing a much-needed spark from the guard spot. DONE!
July 07, 2008

A surprising draft choice for the Spurs, but one that makes sense to anyone who saw the Spurs' lack of athleticism off the bench during the postseason. Hill could be surprisingly productive in San Antonio. FO SHIZZLE

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I'm amazed at how many rookies are getting significant minutes at this early point in the season.

[angelbelow]

hill, the 2nd best pg thus far huh. thats awesome. i would argue that augustine might be competing with him for that 2nd pg spot but rose is the clear first.

[AFBlue]

I wonder what it's going to be when they come out with the new rankings. If he's not above Oden, who has been just average thus far this season, I won't pay attention to it going forward.

[mystargtr34]

1. Rose
2. Augustin
3. Hill
4. Westbrook
5. Bayless

Hill could arguably be above Augustin, but to be outplaying 2 lottery PG's and arguably a third, thats awesome.

[mystargtr34]

I would argue Hill has been better than Fernandez up to this point too, aswell as Oden

[Obstructed_View]

I'm awfully happy with that pick at this point.
