Before the hamstring injury Solomon Hill was known good wing defender

Yes these vids are from 2-3 years back but this guy is still just 28 years old so hopefully we are getting this Solomon here in ATL!

Love this dudes hustle! I saw he had a hamstring tear and that’s why he missed time last season (of course) but I’m hoping his recent injury doesn’t hinder his ability to get back to where he was defensively .

Feel like this will end up as a

Another player like Crabbe who hasn't been decent in over two years

[Spud2nique]

He could get cut for sure. But again his skills are some that Lloyd would appreciate being a defensive coach. Injuries derailed him a bit for sure.

He did get that big contract as a result of his play in Indy ... maybe he will live up to it finally.  Who knows

Stop pining for these bums.

Another guy that was over drafted initially and then overpaid for playing less than one hundred decent defensive games. If he stays its because of the recovery schedule for Cam.

Damn, his defensive boxes and ratings do look chunky early in his career.  I never cared for dude but I’ll rock with him off the strength of those values alone, I can’t get enough defensive IQ.  If he sticks his main value will be in practice.  Pressure Trae hard and lead by example with Big Dre to help coach Kevin, Lil Dre, and Cam on that end.  Unlike Turner and Crabbe there is nothing he can give on offense.

Not a big deal, and there may be some appreciation embedded in the trade threads, but I just find it funny/ interesting we didn’t start any appreciation threads for Taurean or Baze.  I damn sure wasn’t gonna start em lol.

Well he's a hawk so ill be rooting for him. Hawks got better defensively all in one offseason. Can't wait to see the battles in camp and preseason.

Solo can D up. No question. His offense is really bad though. Like worse that Thabo bad.

Defensive specialist doesn't sound like a bad job. Also if he shows that he can in fact D up im sure LP will find some PT for him this season and set an example for the younger guys
