Anyone else surprised with Gill?

[pegs]

I'll admit it, I was completely against bringing Gill to this team. But I was surprised to find that when he got playing time, he actually played pretty good D (better than what DA and Marcus ever brought us) and hasn't completely shittied up the offense (A la Mags and Malik).</p>

I wanna see him spell Kidd some more. I think he could help out this team more than anyone could expect. We should keep him around, and either A. send Darrell packing or B. make him a bench player/coach.</p>

 

[Dark Defender]

Hes okay for what hes supposed to do.</p>

I will say this, with Marcus' slow recovery and Armstrong's age and injury problems I think theres a good chance the Nets keep him the whole year.</p>

 

[xcalibur]

im pleases with Gill. its not like he is supposed to be an offensive threat. just come in and run the team. i see him in a trent dilfer role, dont lose us the game just keep us moving.</p>

 

[ghoti]

He's just a place-filler with no potential to get better and no standout skills.</p>

The only reason he's in the NBA is because the Nets have no better option.</p>

</p>

 

[Black Republican]

He's garbage.I hope we cut him soon.</p>

 

[adisodes]

Yeah, I agree with Black Republican here. Eddie Gill is pure garbage. I would much rather have signed Robert Hite. I can't wait for Marcus to come back.</p>

They would have brought back Hite if he was available, but he wasn't.</p>

i agree with ghoti...gill is unremarkable in any aspect of the game but the good thing is he at least doesn't hurt the team in any way as well when he's in there which is aboutthe most you can expect for a3rd string pg.</p>

He's not even 3rd string. More like 5th string.</p>

He was the Nets' choice after Williams, Armstrong and Hite.</p>

I'll tell you what, I saw Anthony Roberson play for the Nuggets in the preseason and he's better than Gill, too.</p>

Where is Robert Hite?</p>

Where is Robert Hite?</p>

</div></p>

He plays for Galatasaray in Turkey.</p>

Dee Brown is his teammats. He's probably better than Gill, too.</p>

So he's good for 6 fouls? That's all I needed to hear. Sign him VolThron</p>

</p>

 

[cdigs]

I really don't understand the hate for Gill on this board.</p>

He's played above expectations (however low they were to begin with) and hasn't been a detriment to the team. He seems to hustle out there and you can always see him up with the rest of the bench cheering when the Nets make plays. What more can you ask from a bench player?</p>

 

[footswalker]

I haven't seen anything from Gill. Except perhaps, one of the ugliest looking jumpers I've ever seen. It's like Kevin Martin's, but at least Martin's go in usually. He needs to penetrate more and use his quickness. Right now, he's just standing around the perimeter passing. When he comes in, the other team usually goes on a run, like last night, so he kind of has been a detriment. Nets have not had a serviceable backup since Anthony Johnson, which is sad, because AJ was average.

gill is good as 3rd string...armstrong is better pressing the ball but hurts the team with some wild plays...hite has pg height but is a shooting guard good luck with him setting up plays.</p>

</p>

Maybe that's not Gill's fault. Maybe that's just what our genius of a coach told him to do.</p>

He's probably the best defensive backup pg I've seen since Harris. He's been contributing pretty good defensively, I'm happy with him there.</p>

And what about the other night, I believe against the Lakers, where Gill was in and Kidd was on the bench, and the team went on a huge run? You shouldn't base judgement on just one performance.</p>

 

[SportsTicker]

he is a footnote</p>

 

[Dumpy]

Gill isn't the reason this team is mediocre. ALthough I may prefer him to Darryl Armstrong and his 700 turnovers.</p>

 

[jarkid]

Eddie Gill is fine, he plays very steadily. He is not turnover prone like Jason Kidd.</p>

Eddie Gill is also the NO.1 pick of the NBDL... what a honorable thing for the Nets.</p>

</p>

 

[jirohkanzaki]

like i said, gill is unremarkable but doesn't hurt the team...against the cavs he shot a good percentage, made plays, grabbed a few rebs,hustled and had 0 turnovers in 20 mins. with him, marcus can ease back into his backup pg role and even play part-time sg...gill is good to keep as the 3rd string pg playing garbage minutes or one who will at least maintain a lead...i like DA too but he is 40 yrs old and would retire soon...we need to havecheap, reliablevetslike jacque vaughn who will be on the roster more than one year.</p>

</p>

Yeah. I'd prefer him as the 3rd point guard as opposed to anyone else at this point. He's looking better than DA and Jacque.</p>
