George Hill this offseason

[The Truth #6]

Hill isn't a great PG but he's clearly better than Mason. That's all we need to know. There's no reason Hill can't make gradual improvements in learning how to run the offense. Tony is still improving in this regard and he's one of the best PGs in the league.

Mason doesn't have the tools to be even a decent backup PG. Hill has quickness and a good handle. As he learns how to attack the basket better, he'll also learn how to pass out once he's gotten into the lane. At the least that's what I would hope.

Now that we've thrown Mason's "utterly terrible" PG play into the mix again I guess the next thing we'll hear is that George Hill is too small to play SG....if he succeeds at the position I wonder how many would give props to the decision to play him back at his natural position?

It doesn't matter how high above the floor your head is but rather your hands when raised in defense or shooting. There is no reason Hill can't play the 2.

However, it would be nice if he could be the backup pg we drafted him to be.

And as much as I'd like to see him at the 2 I know there is still a possibility Pop (in his stubborness ) gives him minutes at the point...maybe even more so than at SG. I have my strong opinions on the matter, but whatever position he ultimately succeeds at I'll be cheering for him if it means the team wins. Some don't seem to share that same sentiment at the prospect of him playing the majority of the minutes at the 2 though. Sometimes people's interests and ideas are more important than accomplishing the overall goal of success.

Hill has shown flashes of greatness as a shooter, but I noticed he's still used to the college 3-point line as everytime he shoots the NBA 3 he almost always comes up short. But then again, if Chip is able to work on Hill's shots, he can become a solid 2 guard no matter how tall you guys are saying he is.

George Hill & Jason Terry: 6-2
Ben Gordon, Flip Murray, & Delonte West: 6-3
Louis Williams: 6-1


Louis Williams is 6 foot 1 and this guy can flat out score. From all the previous posts I'm guessing that you guys are only worried about his ability to score at the 2 since his arm span is long enough to play D at the 2, but if hill's able to work on his shot, height will not matter at all.
