Assertiveness

I think with George Hill’s game, there are those times he can be more assertive vocally and in his play.  On the floor, he has that look of a leader, and he definitely gets in touch with guys on what they should be doing.  His play could be more assertive at times as when he gets it going, he’s pretty hard to stop. I would like him to be that type of drive to the basket and score type point guard.  He has really made that floater a signature shot of his, so I can see him using that much more in the coming season.  But his assertiveness has to come through to help lead this team.  It’s going to be someone like him and Paul George that really carry this team for the foreseeable future.
