Thanks for your comments again.

If you’ve read some of my past posts on the draft and such, you would know that it’s not because of IUPUI’s name that I’m pessimistic.

I saw Hill play in person once and wasn’t thrilled about him. No doubt he was the best in the Summit league, but that’s really not saying much.

Yet, seeing a kid once is not a good barometer for getting a feel for what he can and can’t do. So you got me there.

Chalmers wouldn’t be able to succeed in the San Antonio system. In Orlando he will do what he is known for but he has reached his potential and will be something similar to a Chris Duhon when its all over. George, however can do it all and has the athleticism to flourish in the San Antonio system. The IUPUI name is what has you pessimistic. I’ve know this kid since he was 11 years old and the way he sees the game is something you can’t scout. You can’t average 40+ pts per game, lead the state in scoring in high school, and be the only good player on your team and not be seriously talented. When he went to IUPUI he was the only star and he switched between pg and sg all the time and when asked to take the load and score he did just that all the while being double teamed and triple teamed. He was in high school the same time Greg Oden, Eric Gordon, Mike Conley, Josh McRoberts were walking the streets of Indy always playing against one another. There is no doubt analyst are sleeping hard on this guy. Just like they with Tony Parker. I just want you to get on the bandwagon so you can get props early too. Take care.

You got me.

But still doesn’t mean he’ll be any good.

Chalmers > Hill

You’re wrong on George Hill. You may want to print a correction. Don’t want your statment of “undrafted” to undermind your credibility in the sports world. George Hill will have a promising career in the NBA not the D leauge. Catch up.
