The thing that worries me a bit is the assessment that he can't guard pg's...
wait, didn't he do fine against dallas in the playoffs?

Hill did a very good job creating offensive for himself from the inside and out, but didn’t always look very comfortable distributing the ball, especially at full speed in transition. He made a handful of smart passes in half court sets, mostly when running the pick and roll, but for every good decision Hill made, he seemed to make a poor one shortly after.
Many of Hill’s problems came when he was either making a tough pass at a full sprint of when he was surveying the lane after turning the corner off the dribble. (snip) Hill still has a lot to learn about distributing the ball, but his scoring ability, length, and at ude make him a promising player for the Spurs both this year and down the road.
(snip) the more important development Hill has made lies in his physical assertiveness at the rim. He struggled to finish at the rim last season, and still does at times, but he got to the line at a fantastic rate here in Vegas due to his willingness to take contact at the rim. While he doesn’t make things look as easy as Jerryd Bayless, he’s beginning to complement his smooth finishing ability with some stronger finishes as well.
Though Hill definitely showed some good things when he was in attack mode, his perimeter arsenal is still a work in progress. Able to get to where he wants to go on the court against many players he’s matched up with, Hill’s lack of catch and shoot ability isn’t a major concern, but it will limit him in some ways moving forward. (snip)
A competent defender who has some trouble getting around screens, Hill is the type of player that can be successful in a well run system like the one the Spurs implement. He’s going to have problems in certain matchups, but he’s more than capable of playing his many into his help side defender and not taking too many unnecessary risks. His length actually made him look a bit better against opposing shooting guards, since he had an easier time keeping up with them, and gives him the ability to close out shooters more effectively than the average player his size.
- Not a very impressive assessment. :-(

thats bs. he showed good things defending in the fourth quarter against both chris paul and steve nash. he'll be fine against pgs
Hill is much more that this d-bagg's ASSessment indicates. It's prolly his first article and to NOT display any favortism, or appear to be on the GHill bandwagon, he shows too much objectivity, and while being so harsh in areas that there is not real need to be harsh he demonstrates his naievete`. Spelling errors abound, I know.
Captain Longshanks aka the Condor aka George Hill was at Texadelphia (281/Bitters) last Saturday for lunch. I think he is dating some blonde white chick.....at least it seemed that way. I think his little bro lives with him, cause there was a younger, shorter guy who looked just like him.
BTW, I learned not to order the large cheesesteak, way too much sandwich for me........next time, im going regular.
And he's been cheating on her with Barrea
Jeez, I wish Hill played more vs Dallas; not that we would have won, but Barrea is really Hill's
Hopefully, Pop will play him a lot as he announced a few days ago
Pop probably gave him every tape of Bruce Bowen on how to cover perimeter guards. Let's hope because he's going to be our new stopper...
Pop knows Duncan needs any help he can get in the paint, so Blair should play.
Plus, it will allow Timmy to get some rest.
Chris Carrawell.
CC bio
Oh, yeah. Carrawell didn't drop. He was drafted where he should have been. If he had had no ACLs like Blair, he wouldn't have been drafted at all. It was a LONG time after picking CC before they started drafting Americans again, other than as picks for other teams.
I think Blair is going to beast. He has a skill that directly transits from one level of basketball to the next, and he's the best at it to come out of college in the last 10 years.
