Uhh, I guess your forgetting an unproven rookie named Tony Parker, who was actually drafted later than Hill was and was younger too? Yeah, I can see how giving playing time would be a bad idea.:downspin:

Good read man...thanks for posting it. I was also a skeptic when they called his name on draft day but from what I have read on MySA and what I am hearing here I am becoming more and more convinced we draft the perfect player for our team. I remember reading Chad Ford's draft grades where be basically insinuated that we should have drafted Chalmers...all the info that has come out on Hill proves why Ford is who he is and Pop and R.C. are who they are.

ya when I read what Ford said, it was laughable to me, I bet Ford was scrambling reading through his notes trying to find out who Hill is... the spurs have only been watching Hill develop for 4 years... what do they know.

...there's also the fact that Ford just happens to be one of these...

Unappreciated, under the radar, not respected despite some amazing accomplishments. Sounds like a team I cheer for.

you might have heard of him, me and George attended Micheal Jordan's Flight School on UCSB campus in the summer of 2000, where George earned MVP honors of the camp, and was quoted by Jordan as "one of the best young players I've ever seen"

also in 06 Larry Bird was quoted "If George Hill does not go in the first round of the NBA draft, IUPUI will not have done him justice"

Michael Jordan thought Kwame Brown was one of the best players he's ever seen too. :lol

I want him to succeed and hopefully contribute this year. Everything coming out about this young man is very positive, can't wait to see him in the summer games.
