Why the hate on Hill?

G Hill is a nice community and team oriented guy and he made some sweet car wash commercials, but he was inconsistent in so many ways and also couldn't fight through screens (recall how he was torched by Dragic and Nash). Spurs traded away a lower tier player and got a stud named Kawhi. good luck to him, but really, who cares about G Hill?
Indiana is 4-0 now since George hit the SL.....
:)
Hill is a decent borderline starting combo guard in the NBA he's not great, but he has a will to win sounds like a good practice and locker-room guy and is good in the community. He's slightly streaky but always gives good effort. Skills and mindset wise he's probably a 2 guard but is undersized for that position in the modern NBA (in the last 3 to 5 years the average 2 guard height has increased 1.76 inches) and hill can struggle a bit offensively against the typically larger starters in this position. He's a very good defender for his size but once again larger and more physical players can give him some problems by posing up.
He's valuable to have as a player on the roster because he can reasonably play both guard spots without serious issues, but he's not great at either, He has the occasional big game. Its nice to have a good guy on the team that is not super expensive knows his role and can fill it well.
I still like Hill, just his talents aren't something this team needs right now. We have too many legit sized wings.....
Hill was not a PG and we had a glut of players at the SG it was good for him and good for the Spurs to do the trade.
We need players who size matches there positions and who have mastered their position. No more drafting 6'2 PG's who can not play the position and then have to be moved to SG?......
We got Kawhi who is going to be huge for us and I hope that we can talk Lobrek to make the move.
Wish him the best but we don't need him and he is not a PG
The good: He brought them back from a first half 14 point defecit against Cleveland.
The not-so-good: He started, and they got down 14. To Cleveland.
Spurs miss him more on the defensive end than on the offensive end. Spurs are a currently a slow team at the guards positions with only Parker being a quick player. Against some teams, this lack of speed hurt them.
Mills is speedy, and Green is slightly faster than average. This leaves Neal as slow and Manu who is slowing but old and with good size. If you want to call Jackson and Anderson guards I suppose you could argue they are slow but it seems a stretch. He mentioned Parker, I think I got everyone else but I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Leonard is a 3, Jackson is a 3, Anderson is a 3/2.... hum no idea.
We don't NEED George Hill but it would be nice to have him back in a Spurs uni. Danny Green & Gary Neal have filled that need.
I love George Hill, but Kahwi Leonard is just awesome for a 19 year old kid ... the sky is the limit ...
He's +30 on the Timberwolves with 2 minutes to go in the second quarter.
He couldn't be any worse than the inconsistent backup PG situation we've been in all season. And at the very least, he'd defend better than Ford, neal, and Mills.
Watch Georgie's putback dunk on Sportscenter tonight.

Indiana 7-0 now w/ Hill as starter
22 pts, 8 ast, 5 reb last night
Hill +105 in those games
Cue Maddnezz with his emoticon "maddnezz". :lol
I predicted Hill would make the all star team someday.
This whole forum is a crack-up, tbh. I absolutely love it here. :lmao
I just don't see where George Hill would fit in right now.
