Hill is legit.
Mere minutes after the San Antonio Spurs selected little-known IUPUI off guard George Hill with the 26th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Coach Gregg Popovich made some stunning predictions about his team's newest acquisition.

Great read! Thanks
Gotta love George!
I liked this from the article
Apparently, we were spanking the rockets, but then barely scored in the second half and allowed them to catch up to us.The Rockets trailed by only five at the half, 94-59, thanks to Brooks' smooth stroke and 12 points from rookie Chase Budinger.
I'll admit that I thought the Spurs made a mistake when they drafted Hill. That was probalby as wrong as I have ever been as a Spur fan. I now do not think he will be just a good player like so many others. I believe he will continue to progress and actually be an allstar level player before his career is over. His drive and determination is what got him to this point and there is no reason to believe that he will not continue to progress. He can shoot, drive, pass the ball, and play defense all at an exceptional level.
I never even look back on Batum because of George. It's just SO much harder to acquire or develop a PG than a wing that I know we'll get our young wing soon, but it could have been years and years before we got a young PG again.
Can you even imagine the disaster of this team being run by a Jacques Vaughn or an Nick Van Exel right now?
Hill Will continue to get better.... Its only his 2nd season.... by year 4 or 5 he is capable of being A very Good player in this league.
his game is eerily similar to Alvin Robertson's, imo.
let's just put it this way.
He's already better than Manu + Tony in their 2nd years.
He's already in that category, IMO. If he had a starting gig (wishful thinking on my part) I think he could move into the discussion of being in the semi-elite (top 10) of the league.
That last game he was incredible. 30pts on 73% shooting, 7 assists, 2 reb,
5 steals and a block.
His game is very similar to Rondo's, not quite the rebounder, playmaker or ball hawk (yet) but that sweet 3 pt stroke of his makes him better offensively already.
GHill reminds me greatly of Joe Dumars. Both 6'3", is a shooting guard that can play the point, can score at a very high clip, and has the defencive potential of a Dumar's level.
I'm not sure how many of you do remember Dumars back in his hey day , but I remember him giving Micheal Jordan fits when Detroit played the Bulls, and according to Jordan he was the best defender Jordan had ever faced. I can definitely see Hill becomming this in another year or so.
Where's Timvp?.....so he went Tpark-Ericb and post under a different name?
Yes but it' only the last game and against Houston,
very far of play-off game) then if you look at the last 6 games
New jersey 8/19 AST 3 TO 3
Boston 5/15 AST 3 TO 3
Cleveland 6/17 AST 6 TO 3
LA 8/14 AST 4 TO 2
OKC 9/14 AST 0 TO 2 PF 4
Atlanta 3/10 AST 3 TO 2 PF 3
It's not perfect. With only one game for a rookie you can look at
Beaubois MAVS @WARRIORS
40 pts in 30 min 15/22 with 9/11 at 3pts REB=8 AST=3 !!!!
George Bell?!
wow he has quick hands, balls magnet.....u know what i mean
He's a good role player, not sure he'll become an Allstar though.
He's an impressive writer.
Oh shutup, he is not the most improved. Durant, then bogut, and who ever.
good article
Truth Is being spread
Somebody is just butt hurt that their favorite team is irrelavant this year.
I think he'll be second to Russel Westbrook unfortunately
Not me personally. My team will be in the playoffs and I will be cheering them on.
