Anyone else feel like Cory and George is similar? The more Cory plays, the more I remember George Hill.

I can see it. George was a far better shooter but outside of that they're very similar.

My knee jerk reaction to the question was no, they aren't alike because George Hill is longer. After looking at it, I think you're sort of right. Both players lead with defense first.

George had more range and was a better player to start with when he was drafted. To Cory's credit, I think CoJo has improved his game more than George did as a Spur.

I wonder how much better George would be if he remained a Spur?
