Solomon Hill is a boring basketball player. This is something I’ve been needing to get off my chest for a while.
He came from a historically solid University of Arizona program, got drafted by the team who promoted their video scout to coach, and signed his second deal to play in a bottom-five basketball market. I mean, come on. Even his Season Mixtape is unexciting (though oddly emotional?):
It’s a technically sound jambalaya of herky-jerking and mid-ranging, but it’s not exactly exhilarating or inspiring. Color me impressed, but slightly sleepy. I’m excited for Solo to join the Pelicans and fill in the gaps that were blatantly apparent last year but are mostly undesirable for a professional athlete.
