George hill's ballhandling and shots

I don't want to brag about it (but I am)I mention that a few weeks ago

Hill is not a PG.

George Hill just murderd Jason Kidd on one of the turn around layups yesterday, maybe Parker and Hill have been practicing together. I sure hope so. The only advantages I think Hill has over Parker though is his corner 3 point shot and his defense, maybe rebounding too.

parker isn't a true pg either.

For parker playing pg all his life, he has little gulf between him and hill in that aspect.

It's not a crime to compare the two.

I see no similarity between the two. Some shots they take are just part of their sets but Hill is a much better offensive player than TP right now and should only get better.

He has really improved as a shooter and I look for him to be a 17-20ppg scorer next year.

Well, as I explained how I thought their shots and ballhandling looks alike, Hill actually seems to be shooting that midrange jumpsot at the same spot Tony always does: a couple of steps away from that foul-line.

I didn't mean clone as in the exact player, but he definitely took some moves from TP's playbook.

JaG, maybe you should actually take some time to read all the posts before you ignorantly post yourself... it'll make yourself less dumber than you actually are.

Yea he's definitely borrowed some moves from Tony Parker. He also reminds me of Bowen since he's got that corner 3 the Spurs system loves and is a presence defensively. And also like Bowen, Hill struggles to shoot the 3 anywhere else other than the high % corner. Definitely not better than either of them at their specialty but still a great mix of skills.

Imo a lot of fast guards in the league borrowed elements of Parker's game since its been successful for him and the Spurs. Devin Harris comes to mind as basically being a poor man's version of TP.
