When did Horry play the backup point?
Hill will not.
Are you willing to make an actual monetary bet?
When did Horry play the backup point?
Who said anything about backup point. We are talking about available roster space and who is deserving of it.
Bottom line, Hill will be in the Spurs line up come opening day.
Hill is only going to get better and better as he adjusts to playing the point. He's shown it in SL so far.
I know this thread was mocking people saying Hill doesn't have talent or potential.. they know nothing about the game of basketball
Who's hot
Gerald Green, the 2005 Boston Celtics first-round draft choice signed earlier this summer by Dallas, had a game-high 27 points and shot 8-of-15 from the field as the Mavs beat San Antonio 84-77 in Monday's first Revue game. Green also has five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. He has had led Dallas in all three of its Revue outings, averaging 20.7 points per game.
George Hill, San Antonio's first-round draft choice this year, led the Spurs with 18 points Monday. The former IUPUI point guard is averaging 15 points in three Revue games, tops among the Spurs.
Mr Hill is balling

Yes. If you think Pop is going to stick that kid in there ahead of Vaughn I will be glad to take your money.He may not be in the D league but I will bet you anything he will not be coming of the bench for a long while except garbage time.
pop ssems to be high on the kid. i can see g.hill getting the young tony parker treatment from pop which is to throw him into the fire and let him work through his mistakes.Yes. If you think Pop is going to stick that kid in there ahead of Vaughn I will be glad to take your money.
I see this happening
I'd take that bet, pop rarely states that a player he drafted will make an immediate impact, i would interpret that as playing time not garbage time.Yes. If you think Pop is going to stick that kid in there ahead of Vaughn I will be glad to take your money.
If you view the Spurs as trying to solve one problem at a time, I think it's fair to say they've done a good job with the Point Guard position. They now have Parker starting, a young George Hill learning behind Parker, a relatively young combo guard Roger Mason capable of playing the point for limited minutes, Manu (the same situation as Mason), and Vaughn, an inexpensive insurance policy. That position is pretty much set for three full years, and the Spurs can set their sights on the '09 free agent market for either a big or a SF, that is if Gist doesn't become the heir to Bowen's role.
George Hill is not going to be taking any minutes away from Mason, Parker, Ginobili, or Vaughn. Nope being a rookie means being last on the totem pole.
Parker starting in his rookie year kinda refutes that statement.
I'd play Parker too if my guards were Derek Anderson, Antonio Daniels, Terry Porter, Avery Johnson, Steve Kerr, Derek Dial and Jaren Jackson
So basically, you've refuted your own original statement.I'd play Parker too if my guards were Derek Anderson, Antonio Daniels, Terry Porter, Avery Johnson, Steve Kerr, Derek Dial and Jaren Jackson
Rookies are last on the totem pole - unless they're needed. :P
You play a rookie if all your guards suck. Clearly that is not the case with today's Spurs.
As other posters have noted before, Hill is expected to get playing time, as long as he can show he is better than Vaughn.
So not all the Spurs' guards need to suck compared to Hill - just a couple.
You ignorant . EVERY player taken in that first round has talent and potential, that is why they are first round picks...
But, if you think Hill has more upside and long-term potential than Donte Greene, then you sir, are a dumb who cannot be saved.
Nikoloz Tskitishvili heartily endorses this statement.
Or then again, he may be a backup for all of them at any time.Hill has played very well in every game where he's had rest the day before. It's on the back to backs where he's lacking.Just check the schedule and stat sheets. Since the Spurs don't play many of those, relatively speaking, he has the skills, both O and D, to come off the bench at either the 1or 2 positions. Bonner will be last on the pole,as usual.
what cardboard box have you been living under???????
even with flaws greene has so much more going for him
dont get me wrong, i think hill will make a good addition to the spurs
Since when does Antonio Daniels suck? Not the best in the world, but very capable.
Greene's strength is his shooting.
Every other part of his game is a weakness.
