Does Mason really make a good backup PG?

[rascal]

Disagree.

The difference is Hill was forced into a role when there were no other options. When Ginobili returned, Hill began playing like he didn't want to step on the toes of any of the established veterans. That passiveness has yet to subside.

But I'm confident that once he ups his level of aggression back to where it was early in the season that he has the ability to become a top flight backup point guard.

Hill would be better as a combo guard primarily at the 2. I said all along that Manu coming back will mess up Hill's confidence. Trading Manu and starting Hill at the 2 with some time as backup pg with Mason also getting time at the 2 would have been great for Hill's development.

The team would be better off with a quality big and Hill playing like he did earlier in the season then what you have now, a shallow frontcourt and Manu less than 100% and Hill bench fodder.


All Hill needs is playing time to develope his mental game and his ability will come out.

I knew this would come back to bite the Spurs. Mason is not a good ball handler. He was excellent as a shooting guard. George Hill should've never lost his duties as the backup PG. Thanks a lot Pop.

Exactly. He did the same to George Hill.

no he doesn't make a good pg, and in my opinion i think the spurs should trade him IF that's all they want from him, otherwise we will see a continuation of last season
