According to Nylon Calculus’ Positional Playing Time Estimates, Solomon Hill spent 62.6% of his minutes at the small forward position last season. During the 2014-15 season, that number was even higher, at 71.3%. His second most common position was shooting guard both of these years. Of course, last season saw Hill fluctuating in and out of the rotation, so the prior year is the best one to look at as far as regular season production in a consistent role. The New Orleans Pelicans gave Hill $48 million this offseason; that’s average starter money, and it likely means Hill will be plugged into a large role right away.
