Worked for Ben Gordon, Iverson, Terry, Barbosa, M Ellis, BOOBIE GIBSON....Not ideal but it can work. He will be a pg who may give min at SG at times.
So you have already decided on what George Hill's career is going to be?
Boy, I would like you to predict what's going to happen in the stock market tomorrow? Can you tell me what is the winning lottery ticket is going to be?
He's a rookie and he is going to struggle (what a shock) and he will have growing pains even in the regular season.
This guy....has only played three summer league games and you (along with other spoiled Spurs fans) have already judged what his career is going to be.
That's my problem....with spoiled Spurs fans!
At least have some perspective....Yikes!!!!

Exactly. He has to be able to bring a consistent shot. Especially from 3 point range. If he can bring a 3pt shot to the PG spot consistently he will be a threat. Remember Tony rarely shoots the three (even when open) and Hill should be able to do that.
at this rate he'll be in the NBDL before you can say V-SPAN
Hill is learning to play the point. He's done a good job setting plays and finding the open shooter. Needs to work on getting out of traps though. His shot will come back to him. He seems like a very confident person. Why isn't anyone talking about his defense? The Spurs big 3 have done a great job on the defensive side of the ball.
Maybe because they can hit a shot.
Perhaps Pop sees that Hill might be able to run the offense when Tim and Manu are in the game to either run the offense through the post or let Manu be Manu.
If Hill can get the ball past midcourt and feed it in to Timmy, and then get back on D perhaps that's enough for a backup point these days in the Spurs system.
He has hit shots before.
He can do it again.
He's ahead of where I thought he would be when it comes to running an offense.
I think he'll be fine. Summer league is summer league. It's like watching someone play pickup and trying to determine how good they'd play on a real team. No ultimate conclusions can be drawn from SL games.
I don't see him to far ahead of expectations. He is struggling with the trap and has made some questionable passes. He has however got the offense going from the set half court.
gino give the guy a break on the trap.. he just needs a little guidance and practice when it comes to getting trapped by NBA quick players, hes done very well in the past and usually he doesn't even get in the position to be trapped because hes usually already to the basket or drained a 3 by the time they could think of trapping... hes busy setting up a offense then getting trapped one big thing hes not used to because of his combo guard experience, and the league he played in... he is handicapped by the league he played in .. but that doesn't change the fact hes an NBA player and probably would have been drafted a year or 2 after going to Florida if he had went that route.. he made his decision for honorable reasons.. and hes done well for himself through hard work... being a close friend of his I want him to make it more than anybody .. but he does have to be more productive shooting the ball. which I've never seen him go this cold.. hes a natural scorer though Summit or ACC, he would have put up big numbers
He only had TO trouble in one game. I'm not that worried.
This sounds like the rationale people were using to support Finley keeping his spot in the rotation. If the guy is missing shots against lower level compe ion, I don't see how him averaging 20 in the Summit League is an indication that he will improve going forward.
ummm hill was noted in college for being one of the most unselfish person on the court.. he took over games at will.. he hit shots at will... i dont give a if its summit league or Summer league... constested jump shots are contested jump shots.. Hill faced tougher perimeter Defense at times in college than he has in summer league... hes playing his role.. hes cold... hes an extremely talented shooter... and if you had a ing clue .. being a talented shooter is being a talented shooter... have you ever hit 9 three pointers in a quarter double teamed by a state championship caliber team in Indiana...and dont give me its "High School" how many NBA players have gone to the NBA out of High school... how many of them averaged 37 points a game being double and triple teamed with the most difficult schedule in the State of Indiana...
how many of them scored 27 points in a quarter with Mcdonalds all americans guarding them... Hes PLAYING out of his comfort zone... HE IS NOT trying to score... and he is also not shooting well.. which HAS happened to the best of the best.. when hill arrives.. you will know when hill arrives... and you will know why some little known guard from IUPUI was drafted in the first round by one of the greatest athletic organizations in history.. until then.. DMX, Segu, gino, go stuff yourself.. and figure out what it takes to become a rounded basketball player besides your NBA FAN bubble of scoring 25 ppg makes the player.. Lock down defense and teamwork wins, Hill does both..
you fail

Dude try to be objective. Hill is sucking it up and that is something to be concerned about. Does that mean he is a bust, no not at all, but it does raise some doubt on his ability to play at the next level.
im not happy at all the way george has been shooting.. it sucks balls... but happens.. I know hes going to get his shot back together.. I mainly just wish he had been able to put spurs fans minds to rest on day 1.. I'm sure he wished his shots went down so segu wouldnt kill himself.. but hes going to adjust and become the anti Jaq V.
Sequ and others should be happy...Hill isn't wasting their time tonight.
You don't see a lot of things.
For comparison sake, Rajon Rondo averaged 9.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.3 turnovers on 40% shooting last year in summer league. And that was his second time playing in Vegas. Outside of the shooting percentage, Hill has much better numbers.
Step away from the ledge.

Can Slomo put this on the top of the board?
I think he should of played. Especially with the slumping.
Nah, watching people completely overreact and flood the board with either praise or criticism is infinitely more fun.
Keeps this offseason from being boring as , at the very least.
Sorry, I'll be sure to wear your silver and black colored glasses next time. They seem to put a great spin on anyone carrying a Spurs jersey, no matter how poorly they are playing...
His shooting sucked.
So what?
Three summer league games <> NBA career
If you want to write off his entire basketball future right now, you don't need to say anything else. I'll keep watching.
Your homerism is comical, I'm sure you are waiting for Greg Sutton and Cory Alexander to make a successful comebacks in the NBA. I mean, after all, they were drafted by the Spurs, that is automatic success...ummm hill was noted in college for being one of the most unselfish person on the court.. he took over games at will.. he hit shots at will... i dont give a if its summit league or Summer league... constested jump shots are contested jump shots..
