Recently, former NBA player Danny Green talked about Xiaoka on the show "All The Smoke".

Green said: "He was a defensive player at the beginning. George Hill and I were teammates. The Spurs loved Hill. They traded Hill for this kid, so he must be very special. The Spurs wanted him to be the next Bruce Bowen. We didn't treat him as an offensive threat before."

On June 24, 2011, the Pacers sent out the signing rights of No. 15 Leonard, No. 42 and Lobeck, and got George Hill from the Spurs trade.
