NEWSFLASH: There are George Hill fans here who are not surprised by his performance thus far. At all.

Not really IMO. The first games I watched Hill was totally willing to take a seat in a corner for a couple possessions when Johnson and/or Hood had mismatches. Didn't throw him off the slightest. Made open 3s, still defended hard and when he got the ball again he didn't need to waste possessions to find his rhythm. Total number of clear heat check attempts was ONE - that I realized at least(I'm usually good at seeing heat checks - every low game IQ American in Europe has strong beliefs in the heat check, almost religious)

The possessions Hayward getts, will be those previously highjacked by Johnson and Mack. I hope they won't give him Exum's as well, Dante should still get opportunities other than taking open shots in the regular season. I wanna see him drive, kick and finish.

It's encouraging because Hill took a backseat to a player of Hayward's offensive calibre before the Ellis era. A point you're missing.

Someone get NAOS a cookie & some rogaine for thinking that Hill should be kept long-term (albeit him never making definitive posts on the level of play he'd play at). I for one will miss the days of ppl dedicating their sig to Chris bulldog Johnson

keep acting as if you've ACTUALLY done research into my post history. It's hilarious. I wonder, how much of your life is blustering about things you haven't actually looked into?
 
For the record, I have posted positive things about George Hill on this forum for YEARS. I'm betting [MENTION=3073]JustTheTip[/MENTION] can back me up on this. He and I have been on the same exact page as far as this is concerned.

He had 14 >20 point games, 5 of them were back to back, one instance he had a back-to-back-to-back series of games where he scored over 20 points. Keep in mind this was all done in a truncated season where he was out with a knee injury for the first couple of months. George Hill played in 43 games in the 2014-2015 season. Could he have sustained what he did over the last two months of a season over an entire season? Who knows. Maybe with the right coaching-- which is what I'm getting at in this thread.


Really, when looking at the game log, the month of March (and perhaps April to an extent) are the only two months where he has cranked out a level of play that approaches what he's currently doing.

But even when he averaged 19.4ppg a month in March of 2015, he shot 35% from 3. In April he averaged 15.5ppg, but had some of his most consistent scoring sequences from a game-to-game basis in that month.

---

So far this season, George Hill is averaging 20/5/3, shooting 54% (WTF) from the field and 43% from three. 26.6 PER.

You would also need to explain why Hill didn't hit this level of play while playing with Paul George prior to the arrival of Monta Ellis.

Again, to me, it strikes me as the classic example of forcing players into a system as opposed to building a system around your players' strengths. George Hill is honestly on his way to become an all-star, and I'm not sure how many people in the entire world had that as a prediction at the start of the season.

I have said this Hill is easily a All Star if he keeps this up. He will not he is hitting some very tough shots but if he does he will be the best shooter in the league.

cute.

You want to see recent evidence that you considered George Hill a stop-gap option? Who gets to hand out assignments around here?

Nothing to see here folks.

What kind of handholding do you still require at your "advanced" age and learning? Search my archive. You'll find what you're looking for. Do you know what research is? Or are you still in the spoon-feeding phase of your intellectual development? What we have here is an example of someone confirming for you that you'll find what you're looking for, if you care. That's the first baby step in independent research, Dal; you'll find it, son, right where I've told you to look; you've just got to do some work on your own from this point. This is to T-Ball what grown-up research is to baseball.

may also need to search [size/HUGE] fixed [/size]. Ok, you're off!

lol. Why would i search through your posts to verify a claim that you made. The onus is on you.

Your blustering drivel about research was cute and totally forgettable.

the best part of owning NAOS is when he hits you up with an angry negrep at the end. L-o-l.

Lemme know when you share any evidence of your prediction of George Hill's level of play. Until then, you're lying. Kindly stfu and stop harassing other posters. TIA.

I wasn't angry, and I even said so in my rep message. More lies from Dal. Shocked.
 
Curry, Lillard, and Paul pretty much make it impossible for a 4th PG to be an all-star in the west.

Has there ever 4 PGs on one AS team? Isn't that basically why Conley has never made one?

Sounds like you are impressed with the roster management has put together. Lots of high IQ guys willing to defend and make the correct play. Makes for a good 'system'

It's a combination of players and coaches. Our offensive system was pathetic when we had Corbin coaching. Despite Hayward and favors playig significant mins, our offense was a sad display. Snyder has drastically improved the ball movement and up tempo style. In addition, we are now playing with its like Hill, Johnson, and Gobert as opposed to Devin Harris, Trey Burke, and Black Hole.
