G hill wasn't great yet, just a good guard. But this guy is the best defender and rebounder in this draft. He will be a better defender then bruce bowen and that says alot except this guy can rebound and penetrate
Got to give this guy a high five after the SDSU games when he came to greet the fans. I'm now a Spurs fan. I wanna see him play against the Lakers soon.
I heard leonard should of been drafted in the top 5, but he fell all the way down to 15. I say he is underestimated. For funny S A videos check out lion1ization
@XxHooksxX I'm done with you,saying the regular season doesn't matter.every game counts.and that rookie is gonna have a hard time finding playing time at his position.
Randolph and Gasol were going crazy, Perkins/Ibaka is easily the best defensive front line in the NBA, if they couldn't stop him then neither were the Spurs. They were hitting all their jump shots as well. The BIG problem was Hill/Neal getting posted up on by Memphis' huge swingmen. Hill doesn't know how to run the offense, there is a reason he averages 1.1 assists in his 30 minutes per game in the playoffs.
@XxHooksxX you have no idea what your talking about.I watched every single game this season and Hill was the spurs best perimeter defender he always guarded the other teams top scored and yes he did run the offensive side of the ball making sure people were in place and even yelling at the other players when they were out of position.his a leader a student of the game and he will be missed.
The regular season doesn't matter at all, it's the playoffs that matter and Hill has failed to prove he is playoff worthy. His ONLY good series was against Dallas, and the series after that Dragic and Nash absolutely destroyed him, this year Conley and Vasquez did the same. Hill's defense was above average, it is easily replaceable, he was not a lock down defender and never shut anybody down. Watch guys like Harden, Allen, Sefolosha, etc. THOSE guys can defend, there is a
@0194D if george hill would to be in this draft he would have been a top five pick.only time can tell what Kawhi can do in the nba.hill is proven star.i bet Kawhi averages 2 points 2 reb a game as a rook
Lost against the Grizz. If you watched the games you'd see Allen, Battier, Young, ETC. posting up on Hill and scoring on him at will, Hill is just too small to be a SG. Anderson is a SG, he will take Hill's minutes thus solving the problem of the Spurs' guards being too small.
@clazier THE SPURS GAVE AWAY THEIR BEST PERIMETER DEFENDER AND A PROVEN NBA STUD.HOW MANY TOP FIVE BUST DO WE SEE?LET ALONE A MID ROUND GUY.WHAT ABOUT NEAL?RJ?ANDERSON. THE PACERS TARGETED HILL CAUSE THE LACKED A POINT THAT CAN FILL IT UP AND PLAY D.AND THE SPURS JUST GAVE HIM AWAY
Hill wasn't even that good of a defender lmao, he was ALWAYS getting picked off on screens and making late rotations which lead to wide open shots, Hill couldn't even run the offense either he wasn't a PG he was a SG, their offense sucked with him on the floor when he wasn't playing with Manu.
The ONLY reason Hill got any sort of recognition as a good defender was because he'd occasionally come up with a steal or a block and that's it. Hill was a big reason the Spurs...
I don't know why people wanted Parker to go. He has done so much for the team. He tries his best. And plus I hope everyone knows that when Tony isn't on the court the team plays completely different(Manu brought this to my attention) which isn't too good. I do wish that George Hill was still here I wish that they would have traded Chris Quinn and Danny Green for Kawhi Leonard, Davis Bertans, and Erazem Lorbek.
They probably wouldn't but after being teased with George Hill at first.....stick with me..... they should've said they'll trade Hill but then take it back and be like you know what we'll give you guys 2 guys instead of one. And then they'd(pacers) be all "Aight my nigga", you cuz they think they gettin a good deal and a shit cuz its 2 peeps instead of 1 peep, ya feel me. lol But in all seriousness i think that would've worked if it would they could throw in james anderson
@0194D It might have worked with Anderson but I know that the Pacers have been trying to get Hill for a long time so they were probably set on getting him
I understand, but why the fuck would you trade 3 players for one. They must've been really desperate for him. And whos idea was it to trade hill? Did the pacers ask for him or did the spurs ask for the 15th pick?
@0194D Chris Quinn and Danny Green for Kawhi Leonard, Davis Bertans and Erazem Lorbek? You live in fantasyland if you think any GM would have read past Chris Quinn.
They would have it had George Hill at the end of it. Also honest who the fuck trades 3 players for one. But I did add on that they would've needed to add in James Anderson, AFTER taunting them with George Hill. You taunt them with hill, take it back then say well we'll give you Quinn and Green, and they'd be like "bullshit" and you say okay okay we'll throw in James Anderson and boom we got rid of 3 pieces of crap off of the team.
im just sayin ive been hearin talks/rumors/trades/etc for a while so ive come to feel it is what it is...so if it would have been him i prob wouldnt have thought bout it much past the 1st day or two
I don't want him to go either, people don't realize that Tony changes the way we play entirely. We played 2 games without, and we could on beat the Cavs w/o him and it wasn't a drag session. If i was Tony would've been mad, b/c why the hell would you trade me for a draft pick, a draft pick is what you trade Chris Quinn for or James Anderson.
Bucks Acquire Stephen Jackson and Beno Udrith...two former spurs. The Bucks are Jefferson's old team...spurs need a veteran SF and a Back up PG atm...hmm.....what r u up to Pop and RC?????????
@Mrpremiosneakers The reason we gave hill away is because we don't have the cash to pay him considering we already paid RJ and TP and besides he has an expiring contract that's why RC regret's moving hill, we gave up one player for Kawhi and other european prospects which for me is a pretty good deal.
No dont trade Blair, Some 1 dont got basket ball skills. Just answering some 1s idea, Relax Spurs might sign either Ryan Richards or get a free agent. For funny s a videos check out lion1ization
Kawhi we happy to have you! We wish you all the best, i know you can be a great starter for us in the near future, work hard and keep the good work and you'll make it!
Does anybody here think the Spurs will be able to trade Jefferson? It would be great if we could trade Jefferson and Blair or something like that for a center
Welcome to Spurs Nation!!! We're gonna miss Hill but we're looking forward to seeing what u and the other draft players bring to our team... Go Spurs Go!! (:
p.s. if you need some bitches hit me up. haha.

Go ahead and look up the NBA info page for Allen, Sam Young, Greivis Vasquez, and Battier.
Look at their FG% in the 1st round compared to the 2nd. You'll see a BIG difference. The first FG% is against the Spurs, the 2nd is against OKC:
Allen-SAS-45% OKC-41%
Young-SAS-51% OKC-39%
Battier-SAS-50% OKC-39%
Vasquez-SAS-62% OKC-44%
Why was their FG% so high vs. the Spurs? Because they took high % shots by posting up against our small guards, OKC is much bigger unlike the Spurs.
