The growing sentiment among a number of close followers of the team believe Solomon Hill will be the New Orleans Pelicans starting small forward on opening day. It’s not a difficult assessment to conclude considering Tyreke Evans will not be ready at the start of the season, Quincy Pondexter hasn’t worn a uniform since the 2015 playoffs and both Alonzo Gee and Dante Cunningham proved rather unremarkable in Alvin Gentry’s system last season.
Trial by fire then for Solomon Hill? I don’t think so.
