The San Antonio Spurs signed first round pick George Hill to a contract on Tuesday, the Associated Press is reporting.

Hill, taken 26th overall in June, averaged 21.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists last season and will help fill out the Spurs backcourt.

"The Spurs are a championship organization," agent Michael Whitaker said. "They told us all along they wanted to get the deal done, they just wanted to use the time to sign free agents. We just took them at their word."
