Yesterday, we began discussing how the drafting of George Hill in 2008 is still playing out today in the Spurs franchise.

To recap — Hill was drafted in 2008 and played his first three NBA seasons with the Silver & Black. On draft night 2011, he was traded to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, Davis Bertans, and draft rights to Ezram Lorbek. Lorbek never suited up for a regular season game. Bertans played 2016-2019 before being traded for DeMarre Carroll who was waived later that year. Kawhi Leonard was traded with Danny Green for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and the 2019 draft pick that became Keldon Johnson.
