The Two Sides to the Pelicans’ Signing of Solomon Hill

Terrible, terrible, bad effort, not playing hard, not giving a damn.

– Alvin Gentry on the team’s effort issues 12/18/2015

Solomon Hill is a good signing for the organization because he is a company man, a true professional. His approach to the game is as consistent and unquestionable as they come. He sets the tone every single day he walks into practice not only with his effort, but with his energy and his acumen. He is constantly talking, constantly leading by example.

A late first round draft pick out of Arizona, Hill was never a flashy player with monstrous stats.
