    You have no idea... when I saw that my jaw dropped...I really hope George integrates well with TP and Manu... because he is best at taking over baskeball games than role playing.. but then again, ive never really seen him have to role play because hes always been the most dominant player on the court... and its even held true in the NBA , which even stuns me... I knew what Ghill was made of.. but to see it translate at the NBA level the way it has...

    I hope the spurs come out with fire in their eyes against the pistons, because that houston game was a weak performance as a team.

    It's been cool seeing Hill through your eyes. I'm glad you found SpursTalk and thanks for the insight you've shared on Hill that only someone who knows him can offer.

    OK, cool. I was at a game and I could of sworn my friend was sitting behind one of his cousins. He was wearing a Pacers cap and was talking like he knows him. Cool guy and was rooting hard for George. I thought it might of been you!

    appreciate that... and its amazing to see SA come to embrace Hill... It was so rough when he was drafted to see him criticized the way he was... being called a bust... He is resilient and has been getting put down his whole life... and it is truly an amazing story.. the adversity hes broken through in high school (scored 37 points per game and had one of the greatest seasons in Indiana history and was voted 3rd for Mr. Basketball, behind 2 busts) and college.. to being called a late second round to undrafted... to the 26th pick in the first round.. to being called a summer league bust... to the spurs pursuing pargo and salim... to the #3 ranked rookie on ESPN... last time i checked its people that overcome things like that, that get

    Very cool. They always sit right in front of my friends, next time I go to a game, I will say whats up to them. If I go again, maybe you can pm your name so I can tell them I talk to you on here.

    I think hes been better than both, especially Oden.

    To me, hes been the clear cut number 3, i cant put anyone else above him. Beasley is the only one who you could make a case for but even he is down to 14 PPG on 45% shooting and not much else. He is 3 years younger though.

    Other than Derrick Rose, i think Hill has had the biggest effect on his team winning games.

    He deserves number 3.

    Happy to see Hill at 3. At this point he deserves it. Anyone who ranks Batum 22 is crazy or hasn't seen him play much. That guy is already one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

    Is that really a reason not to rank him higher? Rookies on crappy teams get a lot of minutes, but does that make them better? Batum is starting and contributing for a team that is currently ranked #4 in the NBA. He has good offensive stats, and more importantly he is sensational on defense. I can't stress enough how much raw talent this guy has to shut down scorers. His arms are so long and he just has the knack for not letting players go around him.

    I cant see anyone you could take out of the top 10 for him.

    Hes ranked 22.

    He should definately be higher than that, hes been better than Darrell Arthur thats for sure.

    But not top 10.

    I guess with the rankings you have to ask yourself are you ranking them by what they've done, or by their potential based on the season so far? Or is it a little bit mixed together?

    Definately by what they have done now. Potential is a whole different thing because theres a big difference between a guy like Beasley who is still a teenager, and a guy like Fernandez who is 23.

    Batum probly has top 10 potential, but right now, even though he has been damn good, hes not top 10 - but hes definately better than 22.

    If ever Batum will come to the Spurs someday. Then the future Spurs will be GHill Batum Tandem. Imagine......and if by some divine intervention we get Yiannis Bourousis, I know he's overrated but still....Batum/Hill combo is deadly enough....

    GO hasn't impressed me at all.

    Hill has been more consistent

    Still #3

    December 17, 2008

    What this young guy is doing right now might even be more impressive than what he did to explode onto the scene at the start of the season. Though his minutes are down, thanks to the return of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, Hill has still been able to score and shoot efficiently on fewer shots. Not an easy thing to do.

    In the Spurs' current six-game win streak, Hill has hit 6 of 12 3s and 45 percent of his shots overall.
