What happened to those 50 point games that Tony had last year? Does he suck scoringwise too?
Parker, Duncan, Ginobili and Jefferson all have more turnovers per game than Hill.
Tony Parker leads the league with an average of 5.5 turnovers per 48 minutes.
So yeah... I'm not worried about George Hill.
You sure your not watching number 9 and not numer 3 OP?
stupid thread calling out ghill3? wtf
with his D, Hill more than makes up his Tos. The same cannot be said about Parker.
One point I think is being overlooked is that Parker is charged with a turnover when someone else fumbles one of his passes. That seems to be happening a lot this year where TP will pass to someone and they will let it go through their hands or bounce off to the other team.
The TEAM needs to cut down on turnovers as a whole. Parker is just getting the blame.
For just about every year of his career Parker improved in some part of his game, yet this year he's taken steps back in many parts of his game. His jumpshot off the pick and roll last year was absolute money, yet that's vanished this year. As has his tear drop in the lane. Now, he penetrates as far as he can and tries to get contact. Before he would elude contact and score at the rim with his ease. I don't sense that anymore. After this pattern developed he did make a better effort to get others involved, but it's been inconsistent so far.
It's like a body snatcher has taken him over. He looks tired and injured. I think Tony should sit out a few games to rest. Hopefully with more urgency, RJ can fill in the gap and assume more of an offensive role. Not likely, but something needs to change.
GHill is not ready to excel as a starting point guard but he could fill in admirably, perhaps, for a ten game stretch if needed.
Chemistry isn't there yet. Could take 35 more games before they get some.
Parker is the one turning it over, even Chris Duhon protects the ball better than him. He needs to wake up soon.
Tony and Manu are the guys who turnover the ball the most. We also make stupid and careless passes.
We need to value the ball more. We just gotta.

Parker averages 5.5 TO per 48 minutes. Hill averages 2.3 TO per 48 minutes. If anything, lack of turnovers is one of Hill's greatest strengths... and the reason so many other teams would like to have him.
what ? is there someone able to read simple stat on this thread ?
the numbers (3.5 for tony, 3.7 and 3.8 for arenas and nash)) in the post you quoted are TOs per game, not ratio ass/TO. so, the lower it is the better it is.
The two numbers that kills about tony are Ass/To and To per 48 min. they are awful.
but still, is it so difficult to read and understand simple stats like these ?
Don't you watch the games?? It's Parker and Manu.. Unfortunately it's pretty typical of Manu at least until he gets some rhythm going. Parker looks slower and tired out there. I also agree he should take a few games off.
Good post. What is really bothering me here is that people seem to think that GHill is some kind of distributor. He's not. That's the whole problem with him.
People who say that TP isn't a true PG (which is somewhat true), are in for a big surprise if they think GHill can be the starting PG for this team. Maybe in the future he can develop those skills...but as of right now he's no where close. He's a combo guard with scoring ability and really nice D.
Hill has been wildly inconsistent on both ends. He has certainly shown enough on the defensive end to make you think he can turn into a great perimeter defender, but it has only come in flashes.
On the offensive end, he does not turn the ball over too much if you are looking on the surface, but for someone who does not really look to take risks or create, he turns it over a fair amount. I am happy with Hill, but he has not been as good as Pop makes him out to be. But he has shown solid moments that make me believe he can be a damn good player.
he means tony parker, yes i know george should be turning the ball over like that after all he had to step in and learn 2 positions and run intricate spurs offense his second year out of college, but no its tony parker the 8 or 9yr veteran that doesnt want to pass the ball or penetrate he wants to hog the ball and pass it when his feet have left the ground. the same guy that will leave our team if were not championship contenders after duncan leaves
and no hill isnt our savior yet!!!! but if we let him develop for another 2yrs i say he'll be more than ready, and dont forget he can shoot the three which makes him a nightmare!! If you guys think about it, yes tony when he gets in his rhythm is a great scorer, but that only helps us againt a team that doesnt have a good point guard. For the rest of the teams hes allowing just as many points to be scored on him or more, so at these times it cancells out. when you have a guy like george who likes to play d and lets say they use the screen he can at least have a chance guarding the bigger player. tony doesnt have that ability, but for now hill doesnt have the ability to score like tony so i guess we just have to wait and see.
:rollin
that's a funny statement when you know that Tony was at his best level, both offensively and defensively, in our previous series against the suns and the hornets, two elite PG led teams. but maybe Nash and CP3 aren't good PG for you. :lol
:lol so what ?
Tim almost left the team for Orlando when he thought that was a better choice to win titles. He said that was even closer than most people think. Pop said he could (should ?) very well leave when Tim retires (and the title contention with him).
TP is one of the five reasons (with Tim, Pop, Manu and Bruce) why we were championship contenders for the last 7 years. He could leave after Tim if he wants, and that could even be a good thing for the Spurs to let a maybe 15M+ Parker to rebuild. who knows.
Try better to bash him, jerk.
TP found a way to not have so many turnovers. Just shoot the ball 3-17.
