    Looking back at how almost everyone reacted when the Spurs drafted Hill?

    I'll admit the initial "huh" and "Wtf?" I had after they drafted him. Only because I didn't think the back up point was our biggest need in the draft. And partly because he was off everyone's radar.

    But the next day I was more understanding of the why they selected him and was willing to give him a chance to prove what Pop had to say about him. Though I know I was a minority in that regard as a lot of you wanted to murder the front office for not selecting CDR, Chalmers, Walker, Greene, etc.

    I fully admit I was 100% wrong.

    Glad I was.

    Put me down for one, too. I thought they could have picked up a player for trade-bait, and still got Hill in the second round. But I'm glad they didn't take a chance on missing him.

    I was wrong about Hill and Mason, I tripped out when I heard they gave that much money to Mason (which has been totally worth it)

    Yeah I was really wary on Mason on because I felt he had a career year after last year and felt that it was a hasty move after getting shot down from Maggette

    I remember Mr Bottomtooth being an early supporter, too. I think I was the first to post draftexpress.com numbers about his incredible wingspan and 3/4 court sprint times being better than most.

    He's looking good so far, but let's see what he does come post-season before we put the guy in the Hall.

    That doesnt matter. Nobody expects rookies to perform great in the playoffs. Thats when the Vets take over.

    Rookies need to show themselves in the regular season.

    Beno scored over 20 points once his rookie year and aside from that never went higher than 16 in a game, let alone 20 points three consecutive times.

    Beno for all the talent he has cracks under pressure which is why he was dog poop here and he's quality starter in Sacra"notherlosingseason"mento.
