6 starts and 15 points per game.
He's either our next solid long-term solution at guard or one of a trade bait for a talented big in the next few weeks.
or his replacement.lol j/k.

Love that gif. I think I'll switch mine for the stretch run.
What kind of concerns?
George has improved SO much this year. If DeJuan makes a similar jump this summer, he could be like a 12/10 player.
Hill gives us the chance to trade for tonyP instead of manu
I wouldn't go that far. He is exceeding expectations, but he is not a solid pg. He is an above average defender, but he is often a non-factor in offensive production. I'm not ready to give up Tony without another solid pg on the roster. Let's not get carried away.
Consistency and play making ability. His defense is normally good, but it is still inconsistent and he does still pick up fouls.
He is still young and has plenty of time to improve, but I can see a couple of things that could be a problem. But as far as right now, he has made very nice strides in his second year. Like I said, I don't really see a downside to him starting either.
Uh . . . yeah, as long as Tony is out, sure, but we aren't winning a playoff series with George Hill as our starting pg. You guys can't be serious.
I am talking about starting him with TP.
I'm cool with that, but I still would prefer a solid back-up pg on the roster. A combo of Manu and Mase backing up TP is passable, but not ideal and takes both players out of their natural position where they are most effective. I actually prefer Hill at the 2.
The problem is that we have too many good players who are best suited as 2 guards. It leaves us inconsistent in back-up points and weak on back-up swings (where we are already weak). The imbalance of the Spurs roster is a major issue heading down the stretch.
Hill can do fine as the back up role. You just keep him in when you sub TP out.
He will, eventually, get tired.
If you have watched the games, this is what Pop is doing and it is working. He is still managing to monitor Hill's minutes.
Yall wouldn't be putting down his playmaking if people would just finish his assists.
I have watched every game available and if Tony and George both start, someone else, besides those two will have to fill in at point. Either Manu, or Mase. This discussion is starting to get a little silly.
TP is the starter, Hill is the back up point and Manu is the third. Even with Hill starting at the SG spot, he still is the primary back up PG.
Well, OK . . . but George also needs to work on his timing with his passes. He is still learning how to play the position. I think he is a good player and all, but you guys are getting a little goofy.
Its not like Parker has Nash-esque passing ability or vision...
And lets not compare Hill and Parker solelyt at what Parker does best, which is penetrating...of course Hill is not in Parker's class when it comes to that. Although he is no slouch, he can get to the basket and some of his coast to coast fastbreaks have been reminiscent of Tony. Hill does however bring a more complete package, much better shooting and defense. And while I do not think he is a better player he is more than a capable replacement. Im with the people that say Hill's emergence has afforded us the luxury to deal Parker if the deal is right.

This is from espn fantasy basketball front page:
George Hill, PG, San Antonio Spurs (1.8 percent owned): Act fast on this one. The sop re from IUPUI has scored 15 or more points in four of his past five contests, and with news that Tony Parker will miss several games with an ankle sprain, Hill's worth an immediate add in all formats if you're looking for short-term value and have a roster spot. He impressed as a rookie role player last season, but now he's a crucial part of the rotation, hustles on the defensive end and isn't afraid to take his shots (nine 3-point attempts in a recent contest). He's also showed marked improvement in two critical areas, shooting and turnovers. Hill improved his field goal percentage from .403 last season to .461 this season, and he's currently averaging the same one turnover per game as he did last season despite an increase in minutes from 16 to 25 per game. His numbers have improved across the board, most notably in scoring average (5.7 in '08-09, 10.1 this season). Perhaps most importantly, he's averaging 15.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 3s and 0.6 steals while shooting 46.0 percent from the floor and 73.5 percent from the line as a starter. Another promising stat? He's hoisted 23 3-point attempts in his past five games, and is shooting 38 percent from downtown on the season. Hill has played well alongside Parker (the tandem averaged 34.1 points per game in the five games leading up to Parker's injury), meaning he has value regardless of Parker's injury. Gregg Popovich won't hesitate to rest Parker enough to ensure he's fresh for the playoffs, which should mean increased PT for Hill even when Parker returns.
I think Hill is pretty inconsistent when it comes to attacking the rim. The past few games have been a positive sign that he has the confidence to take it to the hole and finish. I hope he keeps up this aggression when it comes to attacking the rim.
^ ditto but the same can be said about Manu and Jefferson as well.
Tied Career high in points:23 and new career high in assist with 9.
He can be a SG but he's a pretty good PG too.The best back up PG we have since.......
And he's still improving.
I actually thought he was being overrated early while Pop was praising him like mad but he's been playing some great ball lately. Career high in points and assists is a good sign. Hopefully he can keep up the playmaking and aggressiveness
