That is with regards to going for offensive rebounds. It is a safety net to have the guards in a position to run first on the defensive end, rather than hustle for offensive rebounds, which must befall on the shoulders of Centers and Wing men.
Defensive rebounds, which Hill mostly has, is a different story since it stops the opposing team from having second chance points, and a Guard being the first to grab possession of the ball also gives him an opportunity for break away points.

and the hits just keep on coming.........for those as they say........(lazy butts) i can watch the game and fish at the sametime....i enjoyed watching hill(somewhat suprised), caught a 8lb red(not surprised)......having a laptop in your tacklebox..........life is good
I particularly like the way Hill fought through picks without getting called for fouls. He seemed to find every little crack and crevice. I don't know if he'll be able to do that in the big show, but he showed the at ude of a dogged defender. Pop should like that.
we need Finley back!
Everyone has nights where their shot isn't falling. There were games last year where Manu Ginobili couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. It's not as though Hairston was 0-for-12 either. This evaluation period isn't a marathon, but its not a 10-yard sprint either. He'll have plenty of more opportunities to prove himself from the field. And he did well in some of the other facets of his game last night, so it wasn't that big of a turkey.
Defensively George was very good. He's long, has good anticipation, and is able to stay in front of people. Offensively it's most telling when your shot is off and you can still put up numbers. We will have to wait and see, but he seemed like a natural scorer to me.
He was a mediocre to poor playmaker yesterday. He would just pass out of a double team for a long three pointer. Eventually I would like to see him bust the double team and finish or set someone up for an easy bucket. Nevertheless, he stayed composed except for a few stints were he was real passive.
Gist is quick and aggressive. He has a chance of playing.
Harriston is not NBA material.
Ah, but don't forget we have the savior replacement for Finley in Mason.
After all, he had one 'fair' year last year that we're praying was a 'breakout' and not just the result of getting more time because of injuries.
Mason is Barry replacement
Ohhhhhhhhhh....SNAP! Is that what you were trying to say?
After one game, and I'll adjust my opinion:
Hill - I can see the potential. He needs work on his ball-handling, but I think the Spurs wanted more of the "combo guard" from him than pure PG skills. He has a good-loking shot, and plays on both ends (defense and rebounding).
Mahinmi - I like his energy, but I worry about his lower body strength. His legs are really thin and he will likely get pushed around alot. He has pretty good touch on his shots, but his hands seem a bit suspect. Pop needs to give him minutes and I think he will be a big part of the rotation as the season wears on. I don't see how he gets more minutes than Thomas (if we resign him).
Gist - I want to see this guy play more minutes. He seems to be pretty aggressive around the basket and has a decent shot. I saw him try to penetrate AND pull up for the jumper. I like the 3 blocks, and he did have about 5 rebounds in only 18 minutes. He is one to keep an eye on.
Hairston - If one game impressions were everthing, this guy is gone today. If he can't create shots, or hit open shots in a setting where you are trying to win a roster spot, he has a ways to go.
It will be interesting to follow their progress through summer league play.
