Why is Hill's ceiling so clear? There's a smoothness to his game that is very appealing.
im new to the forums and it seems you have a pretty good rep for being a scrub.
Why is Hill's ceiling so clear? There's a smoothness to his game that is very appealing.
its a glass ceiling that Hill's going to shatter... after he develops like most NBA players?.... Hill can't score ....... Once Hill breaks his mental blocks from being overwhelmed at making the NBA transition hes going to piss in alot of doubters cheerios... Hill is an unselfish, unsung hero... green is a self servant who looks lost when he has to do anything but shoot... hes hit some good shots but its nothing Hill can't do when he gets back to his normal self... if you look at all the tools the only thing green has on hill is 4 inches.

In a wider view, he's an undersized SG who will learn spot PG duties, but his size prevents him from the front line at SG and lack of handle and PG skills prevent him from taking over from Parker.
In a team view, he plays the main position already taken by a full-time starter. Had he been a true SG with size, he and Ginobili could coexist; had he been a C or PF, he and Duncan could coexist; but playing him and Parker at the same time might not work at all.
Its sad when a jock riding fan almost makes you want to root against a player.
Let it go man. Hill struggled mightily and is slowly improving. Greene was still a better fit for this team.
Beleedat.
Ah, I see. Like many newbies you've gotten overly impressed by AggieHoopsFan. You'll soon realize he's an epic windbag and grow to be ashamed of your groupie status.
You don't have to be new to realize what Jayc brings to the table. He is George Hill's jock strap adjuster and mouthguard...
Green wont contribute to a championship.. when Hill develops he WILL... You dont have a ing clue who Hill is gino.. your a pessimistic little that thinks players can't adjust to pressure .. you have seen hills weaknesses but you dont understand the scope of his talent.. I dont blame you .. but take a step back and stop ing making predictions .. because you dont have a clue.
Wow, you weren't kidding.
I don't have a clue because I correctly evaluated his struggles in Summer League (lack of shooting, inability to handle traps, too many turnovers) and mentioned Donte Greene would be a better fit.
Yet, you seem to have a clue because you carry George's bags and tie his shoes for him.
Grow up kid, and unless you plan on hitting a shot and/or passing out of the trap for George, he doesn't need your help.
Also, tell me how a BACKUP PG who has trouble handling the trap will be a bigger contributor and BETTER long-term bet than 20 year old 6'9 Donte Greene who can be a dominant scorer and combo forward.
Hill = 4 years in college
Greene = 1
exactly... fuk Hill.. He should've been an invite not a first round draftee.
Nah, Hill never would of made it past Los Angeles at the end of RD2. After all CBS Sportsline mentioned that the Lake show was after Hill...LOL
Hopefully he works out, but besides George's ball boy (Jayc) no one saw this coming.
and dont ing put me in the same league as Tpark or somebody who doesn't know george.... I actually Know what the spurs saw in george since they started watching him 4 years ago.. they saw potential... hes raw... He will be the player he needs to be when the time comes, when he learns... if you dont know his story or my story http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100376
...I am not George Hills groupie.. im George's friend, hes been like my brother since we met back in 97 when we were 10 playing street ball at a rec center...
He has been struggling on pressure traps .. and obviously his shot is just off.. which isn't a reflection of his talent or potential.... its bad timing as far as the start of his NBA career but hes in a good situation to be get his wings at the next level.
"Worth more than a hill of beans: Possibly the biggest surprise of the first round of the recent NBA draft was IUPUI guard George Hill being selected by the Spurs with the 26th pick. But if that didn't happen, could Hill have ended up a Celtic? Hill was projected by many as a second-round pick and wasn't even listed among the 123 prospects in the NBA's predraft media guide. But after Hill's introductory news conference in San Antonio, his agent, Michael Whitaker, said the Celtics had promised to select Hill with the 30th pick if he was available."

"• The Lakers are close to getting a second-rounder from Seattle and want IUPUI guard George Hill. (32nd pick)"
he wouldnt have made it past the first round... some had him going to New Orleans at 27
are you really that uninformed that you think Hill would have lasted to the end of round 2, with his performance at draft camp... your like the dumb writers for NBA.com who had never heard of Hill yet he had been being scouted by NBA for 4 years... Hill was at the top of the list, of 3 championship contenders, and it was not a secret. ... yet this was BIG WHERE DID THIS COME FROM... You think they are going to pay this kid 2 mil with no credibility or try outs against legit comp?
You dont evalutate his strengths either you negative .. which are superior to Greens strengths
To be honest, and going strictly to the thread topic, I think Scola could still turn to be the biggest blunder, closely followed by Splitter (whom even had a press conference in San Antonio). At least Hill is a Spur player and he seems to be fully comitted to the team.
. Well I'm glad you can predict the future. Tell me are you gettting all this from the summer league, or did you just look in your crystal ball?
News from IUPUI
Glazed America: IUPUI anthropologist examines doughnut as symbol of consumer culture

Anything you ever wanted to know about the doughnut lies within this guy.
been watching Donte Green on NBA.com. The dude is raw. He's offensively gifted but his defense is like a sieve. These rookies are going to be a pain. I wouldn't be suprised to see Donte Green down in the D-League before the season starts. For that matter, there is a good chance that George Hill is in the D-League too.
LOL
Hill is going to be in the line up opening night.
Don't clump Donte and Hill together. Hill has shown he can be a capable backup.
lakers tried to trade up to the early 2nd round to draft hill, the celtics said they were going to take hill at 30. he was more coveted then most people realize.
He will start the year in the D league, I guarantee it. So will Donte Green.
I'd rather have Horry on my squad before I let Donte Green, Dorsey, Leunen, or Hill see a minute on the floor. Come to think of it....hmmmm.
