Solomon Hill's season journey has taken him from the depths of the roster, where DNP-CDs are the norm, to a quasi-starting position, where double-figure minutes are the norm. From virtually invisible to virtually essential.
There's a lesson in that for players (and their parents) everywhere who might be frustrated over playing time. Glenn Robinson III, for example.
Back in November, and at various other points in the season, Robinson played and Hill watched. Back in Game 10, for example, in a win over Minnesota, Robinson played more than 21 minutes and Hill watched from the bench. Back in Game 44, at Sacramento, Robinson started and played 10 minutes and Hill watched from the bench.
