Summer League Game 3 - Thoughts

[SpursChampsIII]

I'm pretty sure that Hill and Mahinmi will be on the opening day roster. I think Pop might let Gist spend some time at Austin until he feels that he is ready. Hairston is NBDL material...I doubt we see him in an NBA uniform anytime soon.

I still don't think Hill was the right choice at #26. When pick #26 came around and Donte Green was still there, I thought that was a no-brainer. Then you could have taken a run at Dooling for the backup PG. Instead of Hill, Mason, Gist, you could have been looking at Green, Mason, Dooling, and Gist.

I'm not giving up on Hill, but I think we had better options. I hope he proves me wrong. However, if he ends up a dud, somebody in management needs to answer for this.

Props to timvp for the analysis.

As long as Hill maintains confidence his shot will come back to him. Props to him for focusing on defense and learning to play the point.

I still hope Gist, Hill, and Mahinmi are on the opening day roster.

Hill was toted even in high school as being one of the most disciplined shooters around... he would hit un real shots being double teamed, fade aways, and 1's while getting flagrantly fouled... dont see too many 4 points plays from 2 pointers very often do you?... I am stunned at his performance .. I dont care WHAT league you play in... Hill went at it with Yemi Ogunoye, a Defensive specialist who had few offensive tools but was considered nearly NBA possible just for his defense.. a 6'9 incredibly athletic forward with a massive wingspan, Ghist athleticism with expoential defensive prowess.. and while Hill had to adjust he hit amazing shots and got to the rim.. and honestly I am yet to see a defender in summer league better than Yemi Ogunoye
