The last player off the court after the Pacers' practice on Thursday was the player with the best excuse for being bitter, sulking and first off the court. That's not how Solomon Hill has decided to approach his potential season in exile, however.
For him, it's an opportunity to throw himself more into practice, both with the team and on his own, sharpen his skills, and wait for the next opportunity to come along.
You probably remember Hill, the one on the roster not named George or Jordan. Given opportunity by the 76-game absence of an injured Paul George, Solomon was the only Pacers player to play in all 82 games last season.
