Pacers hope Hill ready
You remember Solomon Hill, don’t you?
“I was talking to Frank maybe a month ago and I said, ‘If Solomon Hill had to play right now, I think he’d handle himself pretty well.’ He’s improved a ton,” said Larry Bird. “He’s a hard worker, he’s out there every day beating it. He’s going to be valuable next year."

Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
From what we saw from his time at Arizona, you just knew he wasn't going to quietly fade into obscurity. His time will come, and I truly believe he'll be more than ready.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Solomon gets it. The Pacers seem impressed and invested. Stevenson is a FA, so there's a role potentially opening for him to get more time.
Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
Solo is the man. A terrific role model for any young player paying attention to how players can grow with fierce determination. No doubt in my mind he'll play a real role in the Pacer's future.
Then, with a pro career under his belt my money says he'll have a great future as a coach. This guy is just filled with leadership and character. My dream is he'll swing through Tucson as a Cat's Assistant at some point.

Right where I want to be.

One of my all-time favorite Cats. Such a calm, hardworking, humble guy. If anyone deserves success in the NBA, it's Solo. Good luck!!!!

Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
My guess is that his image will be bigger on the Wildcats wall of fame at McKale than Derrick Williams'. I never would have seen that coming back in 2011, but that's why they call me stupid.

I don't remember Hill ever going for a single hand dunk while he was at Arizona.

Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
He basically finished Belmont on a breakaway with one in the tourney in 2013 and he had one balling out against Washington in a loss in 2012. Two that stick out in my mind.CatzManiac wrote:I don't remember Hill ever going for a single hand dunk while he was at Arizona.

Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
Ya Solo loved the left handed dunks
Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
Call me stupid or an idiot (because who calls themselves those things?), but I remember some dunks and drives when the ball would slip out of his hand.
Right where I want to be.

Not a terrible line. Shooting needs to improve. But got the start and 37 minutes.

Re: Pacers hope Hill ready
Just saw it on Sportscenter. So proud of him. Hope Indiana fans are starting to realize how special he is.
