Then there's a lot of idiots out there. You don't name a baby now days George. That's just wrong.
Or Clarence.

hey Sequ. Parker had a couple 0-10 nights in 2001. did you have an aneurism back then as well?
Hill has a lot to prove and it will be no news if he flops on his little face. Personally, we made a mistake drafting him so early. Only bias long time Spur fan will ride that coattail and by GOD he will too. There were better players left on the board and being so, Hill gets another load of pressure on his back to perform.
However the jury is still out. He has plenty of time to show me he isn't some scrub from some cupcake school.
There is absolutely no way to say there were better players than hill because the jury is still out on him. My only beef with the pick is it seemed liked he could have been picked up with one of our 2nd round picks. I was probably wrong about that, so lets give the kid a fair chance.
that is what happens.
If you believe being a fan of a team entails being a negative all of the time, well, you are not alone on here.
Because natural a le contending team should expect to fill any postion of need immediately with a 26th pick in the draft. Any fool knows that. Or maybe it's any fool thinks that.
spurs need to focus on just adding young talent regardless of position. George Hill could still be that talent, who knows.
Agreed.
I admit that I was hopeful that Batum would've been the Spurs selection. @ #26. When he wasn't available, I assumed the Spurs would've picked either Chalmers, CDR, Greene or Arthur.
I also admit that I was shocked by the Hill pick because I'd never heard of him. My gut reaction was that he probably could've been had in the second round. At this point, we'll never know. After reading up on him, examining his bio, and watching some of his highlights, I certainly understand why the Spurs were high on him.
It's waaaay to early to know what kind of player he will be - and for that matter, any of the players which the Spurs passed on. Time will tell if this was the correct pick. Believe me, there will be plenty of time for a critique of this draft.
For now, I'm content to watch the kid develop - along with the other two 2nd rounders. For the record, Batum hasn't exactly been burning up the SL either. That said, it's not a good idea to get too high or too low regarding summer league performances.
he's raw cut him some slack again the Lakers and others were looking at him end of teh 1st and early 2nd he could be good down the road ...
ARe YOU GUYS CLUELESS.... the LAKERS were trying to trade into a first round pick to get him... the CELTICS were honing in on him... and the PACERS WITH OUT ANY SHADOW of a reasonable DOUBT would have picked him at 41 if by any of gods grace shined on them to let him stay in that long... if you think he would have lasted to 46.. your a fool and did no draft homework.... obviously you didn't because you didn't have a ing clue who he was until the name was called and half the NBA teams did.
you're obviously drunk or can't read.
Plus give the Spurs FO credit parker, Manu signing bowen ... they have made moves to keep you guys in the le hunt consistently if Mason and hill pan out those are 2 huge pieces in keping you in the top 3 in the West ...that and a healthy Manu and i still respect your team more than any other ...just hate the (some not all) obnoxious spur fans i meet around town here in SA who bash Kobe or the Lakers with ridicuous statement like Kobe sucks or Lakers are lucky ...but you guys do have a 1st class organization.
Spurs have lost a ton of FO personnel since those days. Pop's been able to coach losing staff, but RC seems to be lost. As far as the Lakers, I hate that team and most of their fans, but I do like Kobe.
...and who are you that he has to PROVE TO YOU anything!?! Seriously, some of you need to get over it. Give the guy a chance to adjust and develop. If some of you are such great talent evaluators, what the are you doing posting on a message board?
Name them.
Expecting a rookie to play like an All-Star in summer league is not only unrealistic, it is dumb. Summer league is so they can learn about the system of a team before they get put in the regular season fire. If people want to be ripping on anyone, they should be looking at Ian. He has had more than enough time to adjust to the league and the Spurs system, so if he isn't dominating summer league scrubs, then he isn't going to help us much in the regular season.
This guy hasn't proved anything against real compe ion. If I were to go 0-10 with 5 turnovers a night after going 2-9, then would you really just say I'll be better once I start playing NBA compe ion? NO! What he did in college doesn't mean jack... playing against rec league caliber players.
George Hill is a simple case of the Spurs trying to find a diamond in the rough when they could have played in smart and taken a more proven and better athlete in Chalmers.
If Spurs hadn't already wasted their first round pick on him, Hill probably wouldn't be making this team.
If he's not perfect, you give up on him.
Understood.
eh, you're wrong.
Because Hill is huge bust and Chalmers is NBA-proven.
Spurs fans about everything. If the Spurs go with older, experienced vets in the supporting cast, then the lack of young talent is a major issue, one which must be accompanied by daily rounds of ing.
If the Spurs bring in young talent, then daily rounds of ing will be devoted to the matter of the young talent not playing like older, experienced vets.
And then of course we have the 20/20 hindsight internets GMs.
