Does anyone have TPs stats in his summer league??

This is why 100% and beyond a shadow of a doubt the kid needs to play the year in the NBDL. Pop is one who screwed the pooch when he said this kid could help immediately on both ends of the floor.

George Hill plays good defense and takes rebounds.
That's enough to be a back-up for Tony.
The season begins in 4 months... lots of time. He will make progress.

He has the tools to be a better Rondo in my opinion. He is a capable defender (not quite as good as Rondo) can handle the ball just as well, shoot better (although they are not falling) and can rebound. He is not the pure athlete that Rondo is, but close.

Damn!!! .............nevermind, go ahead and jump yall!!!

It's kind of bad to compare them. TP was just special. Hopefully Hill is just half as special as he will just be back up anyway

I'm amazed at how quickly people have already judged and "given up" on the Spurs new prospects.

Question: Where is Charles Smith aka. the Spider Man these days?

Surely he must be an allstar by now...he had 35 pts. in his 3rd NBDL game

He was the finals MVP in Europe a year ago, was one of the A-1 league's top scorers and in the top 5 in steals.

TP is more like a SG , sometimes he doesnt set up the team well. thats why Brent Barry would play as a PG in game 4 of WCF.

damn.. TP was pretty special...

I've seen damn near every game Hill's played in his life... and hes rarely ever played the role they are having him play... i would think playing against atleast some NBA talent at such a critical position as point for the first time...would be tough.. i have a question... was parker a pure point when he got to summer league..?

Well I guess that makes you family or a close friend. Either way, you probably arent going to be very objective.

My bad...thought we were talking about the NBA

why the are people comparing Hill to parker... nobody has said hes going to be a ing all star.. hes a developing back up point guard.. and will prolly be more effective on the wing

I think most people believe better players were available at the 26th pick instead of Hill, I kind of agree. James Gist has been a pleasant surprise so far of the Spurs three draft picks.
