Thanks to his size and the fact that lineups across the league are getting smaller and smaller, Solomon Hill can spend minutes on the floor as a stretch-four, but seemingly overnight, some now conclude that his best role is at the power forward position.
Is there any truth to this claim?
One can’t deny Hill generated very little on the offensive end, and for a team often starved for points, Solo became somewhat of an easy scapegoat. As Travis says, it’s too easy to judge a player by his counting stats, so seven points per game as a team’s starting small forward was not surprisingly deemed unacceptable by the common fan.
