George Hill might just be hitting the rookie wall after all...

[lefty]

Timvp, I know you're a bit worried, but there is no reason to panic; I think Georgy is just hitting that wall.

He should be fine in a few weeks in my opinion; sure, expect to see Mason, JV (and Manu if he comes back soon enough) get Hill's minutes the the PG position, but I'm sure Pop and his coaching staff will make sure he gets trough the 2nd half of the season smoothly.

This kid is alright, and won't be the second coming of Beno

Pop lobotomized him.

[Thompson]

I'm looking forward to seeing if he improves in the next year or so with his finishing/shooting, like Tony did.

[lefty]

I dont think so, I think there is only so many shots to go around so if he isnt feeling it early he works on being a defender and getting everyone else involved. Im sure thats really what Pops wants from him anyway. I would like him to be more aggresive and take it at people and try to finish or draw fouls but he is doing Ok.

With Gooden on board he will likely only get 1 or 2 shots per game now so he just needs to spell TP with 12 good min of D and rebounding thats all we need with Mase and Gooden in the fold.

Good points

Even if he doesn't score a lot, he is still an upgrade over JV

But I have the feeling Pop will ask him to be more aggressive on the offensive end anyway.

Pop can be tough on his young PG's , even on TP during his first seasons in San Anton'

Hill is going to do a lot of growing up this year,especially during the play-offs. His balls will be bigger next year.

Which might hinder his jump.

I'd rather have Hill hit the rookie wall now, instead of at the end of the season and the playoffs.

i hope it aiin't the same wall Beano hit

Agreed, Pop should help him through it, he's learned from past rooks.

[raspsa]

He should just be ready to play whatever minutes are available when TP is on the bench. Double his effort on defense. crash the boards when possible and drive hard to the basket at every opportunity. Pop will appreciate the efoort, if not the results.

I just hope Pop doesn't treat it the way he did with Beno when Beno completely imploded. Pop didn't play Beno very much when he started sucking and he went into the doghouse.

I think Hill's effort and hustle on defense should be able to keep in the rotation, even if his offense is off.

To me, Pop is castrating Hill. He needs to let the kid do what he does. Get to the rim, create shots for himself and others and defend the PG for the opposition. I love Mace, but I don't believe it's a good idea to have him as Parker's relief. Let Hill continue growing into the role. Just my 2 cents.

I completely agree. Hill is good when going to the rim. Instead, when he plays alongside Manu, and even Mason, Hill brings the ball up the court, passes it to one of the above mentioned players, and runs to the corner.

The only way he becomes a better PG is by playing the position, instead of giving up the ball for someone else to handle.
