Freakish.<BR/>Yes, and he only can go right..that is a problem I think. However, do you think it's due to his left thumb injury? He is still wearing that thing. <BR/><BR/>[He's probably an NBA starter a year from now--at least on many teams he would be. Not for the Spurs, obviously.]<BR/><BR/>--> Wow. this is a big statement. Think he can do that?

He's learning a new position at point and is more accustomed to playing off the ball. In general, he dribbles the ball too far away from his body and he almost always goes right. <BR/><BR/>He's not awful, however. He is playing point for an NBA team...<BR/><BR/>I think he gives the ball up on offense because he is tentative (rookie) and sometimes defers too much to teammates. I'm not sure if that is also a handle thing or not. <BR/><BR/>The good news on Hill is that he is just scratching the surface of his potential.

I mean ...really really bad. <BR/><BR/>I know Hill is not turning the ball over much. But it's just that i do notice that he is not really keeping the ball much anyway in many situations. I think it is nice to see that he is a willing passer. But maybe it has something to do with his dribbling skill that is not up to par with his athletic ability so that he couldn't help but give up the ball. <BR/><BR/>Let me know what you guys think.
