How good of a player do you predict he will be?
I think he will be Devin Harris good. These are only predictions so no one should get bent out of shape.

Smush Parker to the service desk please, Smush Parker.
Kidding. Just a role player from the bench.
George Hill shall exceed all expectations, for no man, woman, or child has seen greatness comparable to George Hill before.
Impossible to predict before at least summer league. This whole forum combined might have seen him play a combined five times. Might.
None of us know how good he will be this year. What I will say is that I will be disappointed if either Ian Mahimi or George Hill does not show major promise this year. If neither one of them shows major promise then I think it’s safe to say that Spurs management deserves a failing grade for their transactions over the last three years. What does major promise mean? Ian Mahimi must become part of the rotation at the very least. Anything less will be considered a disappointment in my book. George Hill needs to break the rotation and have some key moments before the end of the year. Anything less does not get beyond the fact that other players were selected after them that are successful.
About as fair an analysis that I've seen so far.Quote:

I think Hill makes it three.

Assuming he comes out as good as we're believing, 7 & 3 at the max next season.
He is overrated.
I think he'll be in the rotation but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Veterans that come here (K. Thomas and Udoka) have a difficult time learning the system so it'll be 10x harder for a rookie who'll be depended upon to run the team for ~10 min per game. I think if he stays out of Pop's doghouse, he can consider it a good year.
good enough to have his agent call and have his house furnished at Ethan Allan this afternoon- my mother the paparazzi.
Where can I watch the Summer League? NBA TV?
He will be almost as good as Parker. In fact, we will trade Parker at the deadline for front line help to free up the starting position for Hill.
too hard to predict til we see him play for at least half a season...
if you are saying for his first season,.... then maybe for 10-15 minutes a game if he can just give us solid minutes and not end up in Pop's dog house and doesn't get into any trouble on or off the court, then that will be good enough for me for his first season...
To the Lakers for Chris Mihm?Quote:

More importantly, I think one thing is different this year - at the moment our bench is as weak as I can remember it. The veterans sucked last year and should guarantee to be worse this year as age pushes them further into decline. Not everyone specifically but as a group our old bench looks so bad I think young players will have a relatively easier time to crack the rotation than in years past.
Hill should be be able to get the nod over Vaughn by December. If he can't, then we're screwed to some degree.
Without ever seeing him play a game at IUPUI, I say he doesn't crack the rotation this year.
If the Spurs are lucky, he takes the full year to develop his PG skills and becomes a Jannero Pargo in year 2.

i agree, like most spurs fans, ive been getting ery warm to the hill, but the fact remains that we havent seen him play enough to judge anything. hopefully he gives us something to look forward to.Quote:

I predict that Hill will get every opportunity to succeed (thus making the Spurs look good for picking him so early).
Every opportunity. :)
He will be almost as fast as Parker but don't kid yourself, Tony is Pop's boy. He's not going anywhere.Quote:
