The scoring will come.
Hes got nice form on the shot, he seems to have a bit of a good y at ude.
A month or two with Chip and I think G Hill will be fine.
With the way he played in summer league, Batum wouldn't have earned any time with the Spurs.
Take out Ginobili and who did the Spurs have on the bench last year? Barry was gimpy for much of the year and put never fully liked him. Horry did next to nothing. If any of the young players step up, the bench will be an improvement.
His biggest weakness appears to be scoring. I highly doubt he will have much success at SG on the NBA level. It'll be PG or bust.

His shooting from outside will get better but his main problem in summer league was that he couldn't finish AT ALL near the rim.
I can't wait to see Mason, Ian, Hill, Bonner, Tolliver, Salim get serious PT come the 18th when I come back into town to see the Indiana game.
Tony parker couldn't make a layup to save his life in 02 either.
If he busts his butt like Parker on it, he will be fine. Like I said, he seems like a gym rat, so I don't see any problem with him so far.
Again also, I'd like to see him in a few preseason games.
Yeah, what the , the team has some youth, its got some unknowns, and if the unknowns work out, this team gets pretty darn good.
I'm very intrigued to see how Mason does. Can't say I was the biggest fan of his signing, but, we shall see. Usually guys Pop goes after hard end up pretty decent.
I'm not saying he won't improve. I'm just saying that Chip helping his outside shooting doesn't correct what seemed to be his main problem.
Yep, everything I heard about seems gravy. I'm pissed about The Franchise having Barry in his sig, that's a low blow. God I wish Finley was traded instead.
Haha ok.
Im agreeing and like I said, if he works on his game like Parker, including layups in traffic, then he will be fine.
His defense though is gonna be so welcomed when parker goes to the bench. Thats one thing that stands out to me that was a sore thumb the last couple years, was the dropoff in defense at the PG spot when parker sat down. Second offense run, third offense itsself.
How do you trade free agents?
I honestly don't care much about what Hill does. The Spurs have survived with a series of not so great players at backup point for years. They can do it again.
The Spurs just need Roger Mason/Finley to be able to hold down the fort til Manu gets back. Then they should be fine.
Oh and if Mahinmi can eventually earn some quality minutes that will be a plus.
You know what I meant, don't be a jackass.
congrats Spurs fansI knew a lot of you wanted to get the rookie signed and now it's done.
Oops, too late.
It's ok for you, your sig rocks.
Yes. Yes, it does.
its about time! i hope george hill does well.
He had no confidence in his shot from anywhere on the floor and the defenders all knew he couldn't hit anything from outside. I'm still of the opinion that he was told to work on other things, and he'll be allowed to play his game in camp. Pop's never been one to tell people not to shoot. I'll believe he can't finish at the rim if he still has problems when his jumper comes back.
He reminded me of Devin Harris in the SL. He was really quick and could get to the rim, but never really had control of his body so it became harder to finish. The important thing is, he got to the rim.
Love it! All you doubters can go and put your heads back in the sand, now lets see what this kid is made of
I love me some George Hill.
Props to the FO for the infusion on some young, energetic players onto this roster.
flexiablitly is always a plus
Its about time indeed...but as others have said he was probably seen as tradeable as the FO seemed to keep putting the feelers out on different players. I am glad we kept him though.
I think he can be just a good of a defender as Vaughn immediately, so one has to assume that Vaughn is history. I can't wait until the preseason so we can see how he is coming along. I should get to see him in person on Oct 25th...and hopefully by then he will have just enough offensively to start seeing some backup minutes when the season starts. If he can couple his atheticism with some finishing ability around the rim he can really help us during our times of lethargy.
I'm rooting for ya George...welcome aboard.
espn trade machine is saying that Hill has signed for 120% of the rookie scale. It makes some hypothesis about why he has sign that late less likely.
