Yep I was another one. I just chalked it up to crappy drafting that we have done over the last couple of seasons after we got Parker. I was so hurt that Maggette spurned us I really didn't give a crap.
I would have been wary of whoever they picked given the Spurs domestic draft record of late, but yeah, "WTF?" was expression of choice for me. He may possess less raw talent than Beno, but what's he's shown so far makes me think that there won't be an ounce of wasted potential with him. If nothing else he's got the qualities that tend to keep a guy out of Pop's doghouse. That'll keep him on the court, and that will keep him improving.
Hill>Jordan
The draft night chat from what I remember when something like this.
Houston Rockets select Nicolas Batum
Username: !
Username: Holy ! you Houston!
Username: Robbed again!
Username: Noooooo!
Username: Damn.
Username: Time to pick CDR! Or Greene.
Username: CDR!
Username: Chalmers time baby!
Spurs select George Hill.
Username: WTF!?
Username: What the !!!
Username: WTF!!
Username: !!!!!!!
Username: Who?
Username: Oh my god, why am I not surprised the ty front office picked… who!?
Username: What the did they say his school name was????
Username: This sucks.
Username: Well, we suck even more.
Username: Why didn’t they draft Greene!!?
Username: this team! George who?
Username: Goddamn you Pop.
Username: George Hill?
Username: Hey, at least we’ll get a lottery pick next summer.
You have to believe the front office did their research, and weren't just throwing away a pick, but Hill was certainly not a sure thing.
He's been playing great so far, so as of now you have to give kudos to the front office for finding another potential diamond where others aren't looking.
(To make it more authentic)
easjer: Did Buford think IUPUI was his last name?
LOL @ Hill leading the prison league in scoring
Beno also carries a purse. Go Georgie babyyyyy!!!!!!
Funniest part of draft day: spurstalk critics who'd never seen Hill play absolutely certain that they knew better than Pop, who had watched him work out right before his own eyes.
I supported the pick for homeristic reasons.
I didnt support it cause i was a homer. I supported it based upon the scouting report that the analysts gave after he was chosen. Also after some research on my part i posted some YOUTUBE videos of him i liked what i saw based on talent and his playing style.
i also liked his build and his defensive mindset
