Looks good to me.
He seems solid enough, but I don't see why we'd keep him. Even though we renounced Shawn Colson, he's probably first option to sign for a 3rd PG, and we really don't need another . . . I suppose we'll either cut him, or trade him . . . but who knows, maybe he's our Moochie insurance?
I have seen a great deal of Ohio Valley Conf. games and the conference is not real strong. When the Murry St. Racers are a usual favorite your in a weak conference. This may be a factor in his numbers, but I forgot about his game against Arizona. He carried EIU and is impressive to watch. I say he makes the team, plays a little and has at least 1 or 2 15 point games off the bench, if Moochie goes (I hope not) he may get more time although he is really small and may have trouble playing the 2 in the NBA, and he didn't play the point in college. See my post in the Kyle Hall thread for more info if youd like.
Anybody remember Shawn Respert? I think it was Milwaukee drafting him. He too was a short 2-guard, about 6' 1". And when he was in college, he had monster numbers. But the NBA wasnt as nice to him, i don't know where the hell he is now. Hopefully Kyle has great handles so he can play the back up PG, cuz we don't want another undersized shooting guard (mobley).
Backup Shooting guard? We now seem really needy at that position now. His main drawback is his height but looks like he might be able to score. Does anyone know how this guy did in the Summer Leagues with the Mav's???
He did okay in the Southern California Summer League but seem to have faded or not done as well in the RMR. Seem to be a scorer and can get by his man at will. Could be a good bench warmer and practice guy. We seem to have so many of these nowadays, instead of the damn limited Maloney.
Why did we get this guy instead of Kenny Satterfield? Also, it sucks to think Loren Woods was picked BEHIND him. A guy like Woods could really help us now.
Obviously, the Mavericks thought more highly of Kyle Hill than they did Kenny Satterfield. They took Hill 44th before taking Kenny 46th. Perhaps Kyle could be a better version of Colson for us next year. Besides, if we HAVE to have Kyle Hill OR Sean Colson running the team with the game on the line, we're in trouble. Here's hoping he can be another one of the boys in the lockerroom and give us a few nice performances off the bench at different points during the season.
Trust me, we didn't want Satterfield. He's got great potential but then so does Cato. Satterfield should have stayed at Cincy for at least another year maybe 2. Anyone remember Dontonio Wingfield? He got drafted by I think Portland after playing 1 season at Cincy. He was supposed to be all-world coming out of high school and he had a decent freshman season at Cincy. Then, like an idiot, he goes out for the draft and is he still around? Of course, not. BTW - What is it with Cincy? They get all these good players out of high school and then they leave after 1 or 2 years like Wingfield, Dermarr Johnson, and now Satterfield.
Wasn't the 42nd pick the pick we owed Dallas in the Langhi/Najera swap? If so, we got back our pick back...wonder if the front office had their eye on Hill the whole time, but didn't want to owe another pick to a team.
Terrence Rencher. Southwest Conference career scoring leader. Shoots with both hands. Israel Basketball League.
Satterfield completely outplayed Hill during the Summer League games. That's why the Mavs were willing to move Hill (he would have been cut otherwise). Satterfield still has a shot to make the team as the third pg (behind Nash and Hardaway, assuming Hardaway is signed), if he can beat El-Amin for it.
Kyle Hill makes Moochie and Sean expendable. Hill will be cheap. Moochie has had one good season and is thinking too much of himself. Sean is a minor leaguer. Hill may not fair much better but he's fresh meat.
