George Hill is thusfar turning out to be a most excellent Spurs 2008 draft pick at 26th overall. In the long run could he be just as good as Derrick Rose? Who knows, buts he's looking that good so far. And yes Lurker, my RealSpurs insider sources say indeed it is Lord Poppycock who had much to say in the selection process, scouting and predraft camps that Hill displayed his wares along with many other pgs. They are saying Poppy had much more to do with the selection then any input from RC Buford.
Better yet, since getting Hill, Poppycock has not screwed up Hills game by either restricting him offensively or putting him in his idiotic *doghouse*, instead Hill having some real stinker games early but Popped telling Hill to be assertive, take the ball to the rack as often as possible (please tell that to your boifriend Michael Finley) and thereby letting Hills natural talents flow.
Another big thing this relatively small (6'2") and spindley (180 lbs) guy can do is board. Huge wingspan for his height, i think its like 6'8".
11 boards the other night and his per minute boarding has been fantastic.
