I'm not just talking about Hill. I am talking about years of no decent back-up PG on the Spurs while other teams manage to find guys who are not even drafted who can be decent back-up PG's.

And playing Mason at PG pretty much throws out the notion that the Spurs will only play pure PG's. If they will play Mason at it. why not Hill? At least Hill can defend PG's better than Mason can.

Hill is more like a Jason Terry, a Jeff Hornacek (more athletic), or a Joe Dumars. That is what he has been groomed as primarily. Pop has won despite the PG claims so I'm not as concerned as most.

He was doing with Mason what he would do with Manu, who would be seeing time at the point if healthy, not Hill. Hill can still defend PG's without having to run the point himself and Mason was not turning the ball over so again, I'm not as concerned as most. The only thing I could see him needing to do more is using screens to get into the lane. He's a very good passer when he draws defenders that way rather than a guy that might look for his own shot.

Actually, Pop hates to play Manu at PG.

Actually, Pop hates to play Manu at PG.

Not sure about that, but regardless it's worked in the past and that was on deck for the playoffs.

He's just another flopper.

I tip my hat for him.
I can respect guys who aren't wimps during the playoffs.

Me too. I have to give Props to the little pest tonight. Played a very good game and gave the Mavs energy off the bench.
