Is it his 40% from three this year that makes you feel this way?
He can guard almost everyone on the court, hits 40% of his threes, and is a good slasher and finisher at the rim, making almost league minimum money. What more do you want?
He does everything you want Hill to do, just better, and for $9M less.

If there's a way to keep him and get rid of Hill, that would go a long way to making this team better in the offseason, assuming they pick up a legit SF.

What blows my mind is how we will not go into the paint when AD is being guarded by Ingram. If a team is on a 8-10 to zero run. Go inside and get a basket.

The Pelicans should have a rule for every missed open 3 you have to go inside to AD or DC the next play

He can't guard anybody on the court. Ya'll are focusing way too much on him being a jack of all trades and not enough on him being an ace of none. And when I say ace, I don't mean all-star level. I mean competent NBA player level.

He is not a good slasher or finisher. He makes 1.3 2 point FGs per game and 0.3 FTs in 24 minutes. He has a PER of 8.98. His real plus minus is -1.94. Solomon Hill is the only player on the team besides the big 3 who has a positive real plus minus at .01.

Hill is awful on offense but he is also a big contributor to us having a top 10 defense. Cunningham is awful on offense and we have a top 10 defense in spite of him.
