He won’t get the shine because of Hali but I think he could end up being as good as anyone we had post Mark Jackson till Hali
I don’t know man, I think he’s good, but I’d still take prime George Hill over him. That said, I do think he’d start on a lot of NBA teams right now.
i do think he’d start on a lot or NBA teams right now
idk I think he’d start on a few but the PG position is a heavy saturated position with a lot of talent around the league.
It’s an interesting thought excersise. In my opinion (just an opinion!) I’d say he’d start on 7 teams, and maybe 3 more

I think he’s a good enough combo guard and defender that you should consider 1-3. Not saying he would play the 3, but if someone has a guard who can play down a position, he could play the 1 or 2.
Either way, he’d start on multiple other NBA teams already. There’s a case that he should start over Benn right now. I’m not saying that case should be made or that it’s correct, but there’s an argument to be made for that based solely on his ability to be a secondary playmaker and perimeter defender.
I had a similar thought just thinking about how Myles Turner is probably playing with the 3 best point guards he’s ever had in terms of setting him up all at the same time.
I think all 3 are better distributors than George Hill, but while I don’t like teague, he was quite good and averaged 8 assists per game
This is incredibly accurate.
That’s more of a damnation of our past guards than a compliment to him.

There are some of the many names of guards we have had. It’s not a surprise when all you draft are good guards and never hit often on great ones.
