    The Spurs just raped the pacers on this one. Not only you give up a pick near the lottery you added a 2nd round pick.

    I agree, he can become the next Gerald Wallace imo.

    And Pacers could have gotten OJ Mayo last season.

    Would you take Hill over Mayo?

    Just saw this Sports Science clip on Kawhi. His handspan is almost a foot. That's alien. :eek:

    He will be the Rondo of small forwards... Without the awesome passing and ballhandling.

    He will be a nice player, but he will always be a role player. Depends on what your looking for in the players you are drafting. Not sure who the Spurs will try to build around in a few years that he assist.

    In a heartbeat. Hill's a consumate team player who learned under Tony Parker on the title contending Spurs plush e doesn't have any baggage. Also the Pacers get a home grown hero.

    I'll be comparing M Morris to Leonard for the rest of their careers.

    Living in San Diego, I watched almost all of SDSU's home games last years. Leonard was a beast in college and definitely has NBA potential but I'm not sure how well he will do with guys bigger and faster than him. I think it was a good move we passed on him. He's actually not very athletic and got his points and rebounds by out working the other guy. Much like our very own Chuck Hayes. The guy has a great worth ethic and that is what allowed him to excel in College but I think his draft status dropped after the Draft Combine. They discovered he really isnt that atheltic. I think it was a good move we passed on him. We only need one chuck on this team :) But I guess you can say that about Marcus Morris too. Not the most atheltic guy out there.
