我是真的心如刀割。。。。。。。。。
还可以,但选了也白选,下赛季仍然会见到熟悉的老面孔老人家
其实大家或许可以这么想
这个顺位MS还比当年大将军靠前几位 所以…
能进入马刺的轮换阵容,就象德文布郎一样场均有个10分钟上场时间,就算选秀成功了.
感觉很多年马刺比赛中没看到年轻球员了(除了少年老成的老球员托尼帕克)
马刺在选秀日又给了媒体记者们一个措手不及。
和2005年选 Ian Mahinmi 时一样，当马刺选中IUPUI大学的后卫 George Hill 后，众多记者在官方发放的选秀手册中一顿猛翻，结果就是找不到关于他的资料介绍。
他是IUPUI史上第一个在选秀大会上被选中的球员。
Hill 身高6尺2寸，运动力出色，射程远及NBA三分线，22岁的他上赛季场均21.5分，赢得了 Summit League 的年度最佳球员称号。
他可以为球队在2号位提供板凳深度以及速度，另外他也很有机会成为第一替补控卫。
我对他的信心来了~~

Hill 的母校 IUPUI 的一篇直播日志，可以看看，很有意思。
9:53 pm: Anticipation grows for the Spurs’ pick at No. 26. I talk briefly with George’s Godfather, Mike Saunders. Saunders’ alternates between clutching his Sanyo phone and plugging it in to it’s charger. Saunders admits it would’ve been nice for George’s name to have already been called, but now action will start heating up.
9:54 pm: Saunders and Knox share a hug and start clapping their hands as the Spurs go on the clock. Meanwhile, the crowd is gravitating to George, who has shifted positions to the center of the room behind the sofa.
10:02 pm: PANDEMONIUM! George, meet Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, you’re now a proud member of the San Antonio Spurs! The Spurs have just gained about 75 fans inside this building. People are clapping, crying, hugging and exchanging high fives.
Hill went from a huge smile to tears in about 2.3 seconds after Stern uttered his name.
10:12 pm: You can’t get within 50 feet of George at this point. He’s in the back office with Hunter, Knox, Saunders and Co. and outside the door is a line of everyone else. WISH-TV’s Chris Widlic just called the cell phone he’s en route for some reaction.
Knox just announced that George is on the phone with his agent, Mike Whitaker, and he’ll “be right out”.
10:25 pm: A tearful Hill emerged from the back office to a standing ovation. Pastor Higgins just gave one of the most moving prayers I’ve ever heard in my life. George is addressing the crowd.
“The goal was to make it, and now we’ve made it. Thanks and I’m gonna’ ball out like we always do.”
11:04 pm: Calling it a night for blogging… media crush the past 30 minutes. WISH-TV and WTHR have both stopped by to get some reaction - I suggest tuning in. George still has tears in his eyes and will probably still be hugging well wishers for the next couple hours.

Spurs go off the radar with Hill

When George Hill came to town to visit with Spurs officials for a pre-draft interview earlier this week, coach Gregg Popovich took him out for lunch with a local flair.
What Hill put in his gullet that day was definitely an acquired taste for the guard from Division-IAA IUPUI. Apparently, you can’t get Tex-Mex, good or otherwise, in Indiana.
Hill wasn’t quite ready to give his South Texas culinary experience two thumbs up, but he is willing to give it another shot.
“I think I could learn to like it,” Hill said.
What Hill is hoping now, after the Spurs made him the 26th pick of the first round in Thursday’s NBA draft, is that San Antonio learns to like him.
A 6-foot-2 scorer who played both guard positions in college, Hill is projected as a point guard in the NBA. The Spurs expect him to compete with Jacque Vaughn for the backup position behind Tony Parker next season.
“He’s a really solid player at both ends of the court,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “I honestly believe he will make our team better right off the bat.”
Hill’s selection marked the beginning of an unusually busy draft night for the Spurs, who had two second-round picks to use as well.
They spent the first on Slovenian guard Goran Dragic, then immediately swapped his rights to Phoenix for the rights to Malik Hairston, a 6-foot-6 forward from Oregon who the Suns had taken 48th. In the deal, the Spurs also netted Golden State’s 2009 second round pick, which Phoenix also owned, and cash considerations.
With their final pick, the 57th overall, the Spurs took James Gist, a 6-8 forward from Maryland.
Popovich declared himself very pleased with the night’s proceedings.
“The people we hoped to be there at all of our picks were there,” Popovich said.
They were particularly pleased to see Hill still lingering on the draft board at No. 26.
Hill, 22, is the first American born player the Spurs have drafted in the first round — and meant to keep for themselves — since 1997, when they took a senior from Wake Forest named Tim Duncan.
Their picks since were spent on a collection of foreign players and prospects drafted for other teams as part of pre-arranged deals. Hailing from a tiny college in the middle of a basketball hotbed, Hill might as well have come from the other side of the planet as well.
IUPUI — full name Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis — is a mid-major basketball school playing in the Summit League that, until Thursday, had never produced an NBA draftee.
Hill made averaged 21.5 points per game last season, earning Player of the Year honors in the Summit League for his efforts. The Spurs selected him over guards from bigger schools — like Kansas’ Mario Chalmers and Memphis’ Chris Douglas-Roberts — who were also on the board at the time.
Hill made his money at last month’s pre-draft camp in Orlando, where he impressed scouts with his athleticism, defensive tenacity and basketball acumen.
“You couldn’t tell if I was from IUPUI or Duke,” Hill said by phone from Indianapolis on Thursday. “I think I showed a lot.”
So good was Hill in Orlando that some in the Spurs’ camp worried other teams might catch wind and steal him from out from under their noses.
“Nobody really knew who he was, and probably even now some people don’t know who he is,” Popovich said. “A lot of people found out about him because of Orlando.”
When Houston took French forward Nicolas Batum at No. 25, there was much rejoicing in the Spurs’ war room.
“I don’t remember a draft since maybe Tony (in 2001) where we keyed in on a player or two, and they got there,” Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said.
At about the same time the Spurs staff was exulting in San Antonio, there was also celebration in Indianapolis, where Hill was making school history in front of a collection of friends, family and fans.
“Everybody was speechless,” Hill said. “They can’t believe a guy from this school has had this success.”
Now, Hill is champing at the bit to get to San Antonio. He’ll need plenty of time to get adjusted to the Tex-Mex.
He — and his taste buds — can hardly wait.
“I was hoping I’d land a spot in San Antonio,” Hill said. “I feel like that’s the perfect fit for me.”
Hill went from a huge smile to tears in about 2.3 seconds after Stern uttered his name.
好险 差点3秒
Mike Monroe’s Instant Analysis
Express-News staff writer Mike Monroe breaks down the Spurs’ draft.
All you need to know about George Hill, the player the Spurs drafted in the first round of Thursday’s NBA draft, is this: There was a celebration in the Spurs’ draft night war room when the Houston Rockets made Frenchman Nicolas Batum the 25th selection of the first round, leaving Hill to the Spurs.
Anyone within a mile or two of the Spurs’ practice facility, where the basketball operations staff gathered to make the picks, would have heard the groaning and cursing had the Rockets snatched the guard from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis from the Spurs’ draft night grasp.
Hill, you see, is no loaf of bread. The Spurs have a recent history of picking first-rounders they have no intention of signing for a season or two. Popovich likens this to baking these prospects in an oven to make sure they’re ready for the NBA.
Hill, who recently turned 22, requires no additional heat. Popovich, a discerning gourmet, believes his newest player is a perfectly risen soufflé.
Unless you are a fan of small college basketball, you probably hadn’t heard of Hill when NBA commissioner David Stern announced the Spurs had picked him. But Hill will get a chance to be point guard Tony Parker’s backup, and right away.
The term “impact player” is overused each draft season. The Spurs haven’t even hinted they had drafted in impact player for the past seven years. The last pick they believed capable of making an immediate difference: Parker, in 2001.
Now, Popovich promises that Hill will make the Spurs better next season.
从今天选秀结束之后 E-N 的报道来看，看起来 Hill 确实是马刺这次的头号目标。
之前放出的 Ryan Anderson、Nicolas Batum 应该都只是烟雾弹。
至少这次制服组又一次出色的完成了保密工作。
这个选秀值得商榷～～
看马刺怎么培养了
从 Express-News 的事后报道来看，球队还是实现了自己的选秀计划。
Popovich 说他下赛季会让球队变得更好。
打住，Hill不是脚上有伤吗？怎么敢冒这么大的险呢
备注：因为脚伤，他错过了大二赛季的大部分比赛。并有传言称他一直脚上带着伤后固定螺钉在打球，这毫无疑问会是一个隐患。
是说这句话么？
保护脚踝的而已。Yao Ming、Wade、Diop 等很多NBA球员脚上都有固定螺钉
和其他几名乐透区的后卫比较一下体测数据：

应该相信暗黑制服组，乐观乐观～
各项对比真不落下风，加油，小伙子！！
这个会不会只是官方口吻？
