View Full Version : Hill will be a star in Indiana

Hill will be an a future allstar in Indiana.
The Spurs did not develope Hill properly, trying to plug him into team needs and playing him as a pg.

Playing him behind Manu and parker stifled his game. If the Spurs were smart they would have seen manu's small window and shipped him out for an upgrade on the frontline and moved Hill to starting sg.
With Hill, Anderson and Neal the Spurs would have been good at sg and they could have gotten a borderline star or really good young player on the frontline for Manu and push Bonner to a limited minutes player.

Now the Spurs will likely fill the frontline with an over the hill washed up backup and call it the summer. Leaving the frontline still too thin to have a legitimate chance at a title next year.

In indiana they will play Hill at starting sg and watch him gain confidence and grow into an all star.
The Spurs should have moved Manu and kept Hill as the starting sg.

imo he has the qualities to be an allstar, whether he gets selected or not is another question,

watch out for him though, i think he can flourish in indiana....

i like what indiana is doing atm, time to build a bench for its starters...

manu is the best player on the spurs, so you don't trade him.

He won't be an all-star, although he can be a better version of Jason Terry. Also, he'll be seeing a lot of time at PG in Indiana as well since they've got a ton of depth at SG/SF (Granger, Dunleavy, Rush, Jones and George).

Love the move for all parts involved. Hill goes back home and can play a bigger role (possibly) on a young, up-and-coming team, the Spurs finally get a solid 6'8''/6'9'' prospect at SF and they didn't part with McDyess' contract. They can conceivably still make a move or two.

As much as I personally like George, the Spurs opened up their offense to an extent not seen in the Duncan era, and his numbers went backwards.

2009 FG% .478 3G% .399 ppg 12.4 apg 2.9
2010 FG% .453 3G% .377 ppg 11.6 apg 2.4

On reason for his drop-off in stats is that both Parker and Ginobili were relatively health throughout the season. Still, he seem to have flatlined in his development here, hopefully in Indiana he can continue to grow and provide skills the team lacks.

As long as Granger is a Pacer, there won't be enough shots for Hill to even sniff an All Star selection in Indiana.

Hill is going to be a very good back-up/mediocre starter at sg his whole career with limited minutes as a back-up pg. He has the will to defend but size wise doesn't match-up well against most starting SG and he doesn't have the ball handling skill or court vision to be a regular starter at point guard. Ideally he'd find a team with a big point guard where he could play shooting guard but the big point guard experiment era passed quickly.

I don't see all-star from him but I do see a fan favorite 2 position back-up that gets starter minutes.

Parker and Ginobili's health made his shooting percentages drop sharply?

They have a decent group of under 26 year olds up there. Granger, Paul George, George Hill, Collison, McRoberts. Not bad at all.

the difference between two teams, their coach is force to play the young players, while the spurs coach only care about playin the stupid vets who would just be happy sitting on the bench collecting a paycheck

Even if Hill becomes an all star this was the right trade. You have to understand that for a team that is built to compete for championships like San Antonio, they can't afford to have young guys such as Blair/Hill playing 40+ minutes. They learn that way but the team's record suffers as a result. It worked for Parker because he had a Duncan in his prime + David. Look at 2009-2010 season when Parker went down. Spurs ended up with a 7th seed. Hill played nicely then but then last year did not improve. If he secures a starting position on the Pacers, Hill could very well make an all star team down the road if he improves his shooting. We all know hes not a point guard. Even if he doesn't, people outside of Spurs fans seem to think highly of him and Hill could have easily made $5-$7mil next year. Spurs can't afford to pay him that much when he would still just be backing up Tony for 4 more years.

Monta Ellis still hasn't made an All-Star team and he is by far, BY FAR, a better player than Hill will ever be.

I guess if your definition of a "star" is someone who will be known by his team and most non-casual fans around the league while putting up 16/4/4, then yeah he will be a star.

We're just saying people on this board are going to overreact when Hill puts up huge numbers for a sub 500 team while averaging 40+ minutes. Obviously if he got that playing time in SA he could as well but less wins. I believe in 55 starts for Spurs he averaged like 15 ppg and 4apg.

Hill can't handle being pressured by defenders and he was obviously screwed when the opposition = Tony Allen and Shane Battier. He had that one good Memphis game during the regular season where he was hitting every shot. I remember behind the back fadeaways were going in for him that game.

Rascal, you could very well be right about George. He always played better when he was starting. Whether that was with Tony as a SG or with Manu at PG (really he still played SG when paired with Manu but deferred too much). We'll have to see, but he very well could turn out to be an All Star caliber player if he gets the chance to develop in Indiana.

Also, even though Hill sucked at PG I was still OK with the Spurs trading TP if they could get someone really, really good at PF or C as I thought George usually always plays better when starting so I thought we'd be OK. We also could have payed Hill in the 7 million range and saved some money instead of paying TP 13 million and used the money on a big.

Come on you two above, we could say that about Ariza as well and look what happened? NOTHING at all. Monta Elis IS VERY SKILLED! He is a better player than Hill and you guys need to stop it. You could put a player on a team as well and he is their main guy and they shut him down and his FG % drops because they are exposed! Monta would put up numbers with that skillset in almost any situation IMO.


I have seen some say so and so could do this on a team if they touched the ball alot, seen the player fade out after leaving a good team who made them look better than they were! Your company often makes you better.

Why pay Parker 14m when you can pay Hill half of that or less? And considering how thin the spurs are at point guard, iron-man Hill would have been the safer bet IMO than the oft-injured high mileage Parker.

Spurs will be totally up a creek if Parker has his annual 2-3 ankle rolls or god forbid, an injury.

TJastal
06-27-2011, 12:13 AM
Parker and Ginobili's health made his shooting percentages drop sharply?

I wouldn't call that a sharp drop. And of course you don't mention his FT% which climbed up to 86%, as well as taking 40 more trips to the line. Which is the equivalent of approx 17-18 more made baskets which more than makes up for the slight drops in FG%.

Defensively is where he showed some problems last year (esp in the grizz series), and I attribute this more to Pop making him defend so many different positions (from PG - SF) and Pop not formulating a plan to stop the grizzlies' offense to shut down all those backdoor cuts, which victimized the spurs' backcourt time and time again. With better coaching in Indiana plus a more defined, steady role Hill will pick up where he left off from his 2nd year and continue to get better.

I think George Hill can be a larger part of the Pacers than he was of the Spurs offensive production. That might not be enough to make him an All-Star, but if he overcomes that mental barrier of his and begins to score naturally (which he can), he can average 17+ PPG.

Looking at the Spurs roster, the decision to trade George was once again heavily influenced by money issues. Spurs have enough SGs, George never really was a PG.

Question: If he had developed more, would he still have been traded (for more value)?

To be an all-star caliber player you still need to produce something close to what the guys making the all star team are. Do you really see George Hill being a 20ppg guy? Because that's what he's going to have to do if he's to be considered all star caliber.

I like George Hill as much as the next guy, but saying he's all star caliber is a reach. Nice player, will have a long NBA career, but he's not an all star caliber player.

Hill has the ability to get to the line 6-7 times a game and knock em in at almost 90%. Beyond that, it's a matter of how many shots he'll get in Indiana, IMO he'll have an expanded role over there and be doing alot of the ballhandling over there so the shots will come. I could see him averaging 19-20 next year, which won't get him on the all star team but might propel the pacers to a winning season.

But even more important than the scoring, however is Hill's playmaking. Which is the biggest question most ppl have with him and that will determine how far he goes in the league. If he learns how to become a great passer, it will just create even more opportunities for himself offensively (to score). And if that happens, he'll become one of the elite players in the league.

Saw somewhere that George averaged 15ppg in 55 starts for Spurs. It's plausible. Look at a player like Tyreke Evans? Team sucks but he still has the stats. If Hill secures a starting shooting guard position playing 40+ he could average that.

Very true but who knows being at home may make him feel more comfortable playing and that could carry over to road games. I wish him the best though, if he does develop into a solid point guard, be nice if Spurs signed him once Tony's done.

Realistically looking at the salaries I think the Spurs could have afforded to sign Hill with Duncan coming off the books. However, another young guy like Danny Green would be a restricted agent and then they have to save room for Anderson/Blair/Butler or whoever they want to sign.

The more genius move was to trade Manu and move Hill to the starting 2, develop Hill into the player he will become in Indiana and make a major upgrade frontline acquisition with the Manu trade.

Now the spurs are left with little for a major frontline addition and will again fall short because of frontline deficiencies.

elemento
06-27-2011, 06:37 PM
Yeah because trading Manu and starting George Hill would solve all our problems. People really don't understand how important Manu is to us.

Teams won't pay much for Manu because he is 34 years-old and frequently has healthy issues. It doesn't make any sense for us to trade Manu because he is a top 3 SG and the little value in return we would get.

If you think we are going to get a super stud big with Manu you are delusional my friend. And we are not going anywhere with a backcourt with 2 6"2 players.

It's pretty much just the OP.

The spurs are not going anywhere with the frontline they have + the backup quality scrub they will add. Manu has really gotten the team far the last 4 years.

Manu is a top 3 sg yet has no trade value. :lol

When did I say Manu has no trade value ?

Considering age and healthy issues, Manu has more value to us than any other team in the league. Our best trade chip is Parker and he is not going anywhere.

I will ask you. What players do you think we could land with Manu? Tell me 5 reasonable names that would make us immediate title contenders considering the fact that we would not have Manu anymore as well.

This is where is says it's not his job to come up with trades.

Apparently it's his job to whine about the FO and demand that Manu be traded.

Yeah pretty much. He doesn't have a clue. I'd love to hear his ideas about what kind of players we could land with Manu that would make us immediate contenders with a Parker/Hill backcourt.

Trade Manu and start Parker/Hill is one of the dumbest ideas i have ever seen in this forum. :lmao

Didn't read the whole thread. If it's been said, I apologize for repeating it.

Hill might be an All Star. The Pacers will not get out of the first round if they even get to it.

SA isn't trying to make All Stars. They are trying to win championships.

You would rather go into the season with quality players like Bonner, Blair and a backup over the hill type player with Duncan on the frontline and keep Manu. The Spurs have tried that route enough times. Like that has been successful the last 4 years.

He will never be an all-star

The only young player in Indy that has the potential to be an all-star is Paul George.

Danny Granger sends his regards.
