    After careful consideration, I think this is an excellent pick. The Spurs clearly had no back up point and they haven't had one since Speedy left. They addressed something they have needed for years. This dude can play. Period.

    The Spurs next weakness is in the low post which they will address with Kurt Thomas and someone else to be named later. Bowen and Udoka can hold down the fort at small forward.. If JR Smith comes in and joins Ginobili in the offguard slot, the Spurs are fine.

    Jacque Vaughn can leave now.. thank God.

    No more slovenians, no more dope smokers, the Spurs have a backup now.

    This dude can shoot, he is smart, he is a great guy and he is athletic...

    ... I think it's a great pick.

    Vaughn is under contract this year.

    Give me reasons why he is better than Chalmers and I will give you more reasons why he's not.

    To me, I thought Chalmers was a slight upgrade over Vaughn with the same weaknesses.

    George Hill is solid.

    Time will tell. Hopefully he can make an impact in 08/09. If not, I will be disappointed.

    And you scouted Hill personally?

    Share with us your basis for thinking he was better than Chalmers. Surely it's a better reason than, "Because the Spurs picked him."

    Vaughn was also once considered the best point guard in college basketball.

    that is a ridiculously huge IF

    And if JR Smith isn't signed away from Denver . . .

    We can argue this forever. Let's see him on the court first. Pop likes him, and that works for me.

    No. I don't know. It's rather premature and ridiculous at this point to condemn the Spurs about the draft.

    Why would JR want to stay in Denver? He has probably already notified them to sign and trade or let his ass go.

    Thats a great first start.

    If Pop connects with a guy, then he works with the player.


    I really really like this pick. especially with more what I'm reading about him, hes sounding more and more like a sleeper thats a good player.

    I spoke highly of Chalmers in other threads, but he still had some gaping holes in his game.

    I liked him as a small ball 2 and defensive match-up against top PGs. But Chalmers hasn't played PG in 2 years and the results weren't pretty when he did. His only real collegiate success came playing OFF the ball.

    he's a clutch shooter and that's about it IMO.

    If Hill works out, nothing else about this draft matters.

    True. The only way this draft was going to impact the Spurs next season was if they found a backup point in it.

    The more you read about Hill, he sounds like an ideal backup point guard.

    Heres to hoping George works out


    Now onto FA where you get the shooting guard and another big.
