"Undrafted in 2007 after attracting little attention while at Cal State Fullerton, Brown drew raves in Vegas with his improved floor leadership and decision-making to complement his athleticism and scoring ability. Although he's considered more of a combo guard than a pure point guard, Brown outplayed three first-round picks -- Memphis' Mike Conley, Charlotte's D.J. Augustin and San Antonio's George Hill -- in head-to-head matchups."

Interesting, Brown with 7-12 from the field and 8 assists. Hill with 0-10, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Well let's just hope G.Hill's athleticism gets him to the next level.

Since when does Antonio Daniels suck? Not the best in the world, but very capable.

"oh he sucks"...that has got to be the most overused term to describe a player someone just doesnt like for whatever reason....

I wasn't sure where to put these. It has 4 pics of Hill from the Rookie Photo Session.

You ignorant . EVERY player taken in that first round has talent and potential, that is why they are first round picks...

.

Darko Milicic and Kwame Brown think you are the bees knees too!

[wildbill2u]

ANY pick after about 15 in the first round is a prayer if you look at the history of the draft. Something less than 20% make any team at all, ever.

That's just the way the talent cookies crumble. So let's pray for Hill, Gist, Tolliver and whatshisname.

I think Chalmers should make it in the league as a solid back up PG on a good team or a starting PG on a bad team. Hill however should make it as a starting PG on good team. Spurs got s steal, right Mr Body?

Hills FT shooting, which is pure net, says to me he's going to develop a very good outside shot.

What is it with Sacramento overstating their player's heights? They've been doing it since Webber. Donte Greene measured 6'9" at the combine, and suddenly he's 6'11"?

Chalmers is kind of performing to the high end of expectations...in way. He's adjusted to the NBA 3 point line and he's playing pretty solid defense most of the time.

On the other hand, he hasn't adjusted that well to being a PG (for reference, look at every time KU tried to play him at the point*). He has some good statistical nights, but - typically - their offense doesn't look overly smooth when he's in charge.

* Chalmers was a different case than Hill. Hill always played off the ball in college. He's going to continue to get better as he gets even more experience playing with the ball in his hands most of the time. Meanwhile, Bill Self WANTED (at times, NEEDED) Mario to be a PG when he came to KU - and the results were terrible. Chalmers never really got it together until Sherron Collins came in to the run the point and allowed Chalmers to move off the ball.

Um, the OP is a confirmed Hill fan. That first post was pure sarcasm.

My bumpage was due to the insinuations that Donte Greene > Hill.

The OP is a FRIEND of George Hill.

.... ya ... I've known Hill for many years, we were child hood friends and grew up together.. This article is about me and George's youth, I'm Jeremiah Chlumsky aka Jayc as mentioned in this article of Hill http://magazine.iupui.edu/08Summer/george_hill/

Nice article, thanks for posting the link.

Frederic Weis was the biggest draft blunder in recent memory, with Kandiman a close second.

Darko was a worse mistake. Passing up on Carmelo Anthony for that stiff.

[rascal]

Hills numbers will be coming down some with Parker back.

[jayc23]

ahh the good ole days of draft nite, and me defending george against doubters, I miss this board running 2 businesses and getting married kept me out of interaction with this awesome community , i miss segu bashing george

[Blackjack]

I was wondering what happened to you.

Congrats on the marriage.

[TDMVPDPOY]

well its still not late to whip out that xxx ghill pics and start comparing the pair...hahahaha

[jayc23]

lol. I remember when those first appeared and someone on spurs talk posted about it ,and me and another guy attacked the blog admin like we were george's agent and they pulled the post within like an hour, he didn't hide from it this time around. that was ed up... --- I talked with him about getting it pulled this summer when his fiance was there and she didn't know about it.. and he changed the subject real quick... she found out this time around .. lol ... whatever hes got more pressing issues to attend to now that TP's down than sex pics.... its sad.. Ken Rod from Spurs.com interviewed me a couple days before the pics went live and his first article was supposed to be about George's youth and my family, and what George was doing in the community, but the whole sex tape misjudgement kinda put that article on the back burner... I'm sure it will come out once that has passed into the obscurity of youthful ups of pro rookie athletes.
