Hill scored 10 points (2-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes of action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Hill has not been flashy. He does not produce gaudy scoring numbers - his season high is a 28 point outing against the Wizards - but he does produce in other categories to make himself fantasy relevant. He is averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.0 block and 0.8 3PM per game over his last four games. He is hitting every category and that's what builds solid fantasy teams.

Hill scored eight points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and added seven rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes of action on Saturday against the Portland Trailblazers.
Despite the start and the extra minutes (37), Hill was unable to really contribute in a fantasy-meaningful way. The rebounds are nice, but the Pacers need people to score in order to fill the void left by Paul George. This outing showed little fantasy promise.

Hill will start Saturday against the Blazers.
Hill's transition to the bench lasted all of one game, as a knee injury to C.J. Miles will necessitate his return to the starting lineup. The 23-year-old Hill has averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 32.3 minutes so far this season, but only 8.7 points and 4.0 rebounds so far in December.

Hill scored 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3P, 5-6 FT) with three rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 30 minutes off the bench Friday.
Despite shifting to the second unit on Friday, Hill still got plenty of run after CJ Miles injured his knee during the game. If Miles misses any further time, look for Hill to move back into the starting lineup.
Fri Dec 12 201418:19Hill will come off bench Friday
Hill will come off the bench Friday, Fox Sports Indiana's Jeremiah Johnson reports.
Rodney Stuckey will move to the shooting guard spot, with C.J. Watson playing point guard. Hill will remain a key part of the Pacers' rotation, but his fantasy value takes a hit here.

Hill shot 63.6 percent from the floor in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, scoring 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt).
Hill rebounded nicely from a poor shooting night Tuesday against the Suns. In addition to his scoring, Hill had eight rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal. Owners will want to continue to use Hill as the hot hand, but once George Hill returns, there's no telling what Frank Vogel's rotations will look like.

Hill provided 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) with 12 rebounds in the surprise win over the Bulls on Saturday. He played 33 minutes.
With the Pacer decimated by injuries, Hill is getting plenty of playing time. He had only hit 11-of-40 (27.5 percent) in his previous three games, but he broke out nicely against Chicago. Hill is worth owning, but fantasy owners may not want to play him every game.
Sat Nov 8 201422:17Hill scored career-high 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT) w...
Hill scored a career-high 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT) with six rebounds and three steals in 43 minutes in the loss to the Wizards on Saturday.
Hill kept the Pacers in the game and scored twice as much as his nearest teammate. He has scored in double digits in his last five games and has averaged 15.2 points over that span. Hill may a surprise source of fantasy goodness, particularly if Roy Hibbert's knee injury causes him to miss games.
Wed Oct 29 201418:43Hill will open season as starting small forward
Hill will open the season as the starting small forward.
With Rodney Stuckey out, C.J. Miles will be the shooting guard and Hill will get the start at small forward.
Tue Sep 30 201423:23Hill worked with starters Tuesday
Hill worked with the starters Tuesday, but is likely to begin the season as a reserve, Pacers.com's Mark Montieth reports.
C.J. Miles is dealing with a minor injury, and is anticipated to start at small forward for the Pacers. However, for fantasy owners looking for upside on Indiana's roster, Hill is the guy to take late in drafts, as his skill set is a bit more exciting, especially in terms of outside shooting.

Hill will play a major role in filling the vacancy left by Paul George at the wing, the Indianapolis Star reports. "We're all really high on what Solomon Hill can do for us next year," coach Frank Vogel stated.
Hill's ability and work ethic have constantly been praised by Pacers brass since his arrival in Indiana, but up until this point, he hasn't seen enough time on the court to be able to confirm any of this hype. Now that Paul George is set to miss the entire 2014-15 season due to a broken leg suffered during an international scrimmage, an opportunity has suddenly opened up. Coach Vogel hasn't confirmed exactly what he intends to do with his starting lineup just yet, but Hill will likely compete with recent acquisitions Rodney Stuckey and CJ Miles for minutes at the wing. Regardless of whether or not he's able to impress enough to earn a starting role, Hill's minutes are set for a major spike in the upcoming season.
Sat Jul 5 201409:47Solomon Hill out with an ankle sprain
Solomon Hill (ankle) will not play on Saturday.
He may have been looking at a bigger role in summer league, but it won't happen in the opener. Hill barely got off the bench in his rookie season and he wasn't even very active in summer league last year, so he'll look to get his NBA career off the ground as soon as his ankle heals.

Wed Jun 25 201411:01Solomon Hill may earn bigger role w/ Pacers
The Pacers are hopeful that Solomon Hill can step into a bigger role next season now that Danny Granger, Evan Turner and Rasual Butler are no longer under contract.
Larry Bird said that Hill still needs to work on his shot mechanics and "other things" before becoming a steady rotation player, but the Pacers are enamored with his defensive abilities. "I'm really excited about what Solomon Hill can do for us," said coach Frank Vogel. "I think if he was pushed into a situation where he had to play 15-20 minutes a game all year he could've been a difference in our playoff run. He's got the ability to be an elite defender - an elite defender, not just an average defender."

Mon Apr 7 201414:27Solomon Hill out w/ sore and tight back
Pacers forward Solomon Hill hasn't been available for the past three games due to tightness and soreness in his back.
Hill's role is so small that his absence doesn't make a big impact for Indy, which he acknowledged in a recent interview. "It's towards the end of the season and ... I was on the road to being inactive so it's not like I'm in a super rush to force it to get back," he said. "I'd rather take my time and fully recover and make sure my back is 100 percent."

Sat Jan 4 201414:18Pacers recall SF Solomon Hill from D-League
Pacers F Solomon Hill has been recalled from the D-League.
He averaged 19 points and 3.5 rebounds in a few appearances with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. With Danny Granger healthy there is no spot for Hill in the Pacers' rotation, and he doesn't have any fantasy appeal.

Tue Oct 29 201319:13Solomon Hill could see time off bench
Solomon Hill could see time off the bench with the second unit on Tuesday.
It's a recent late development and it has a lot to do with Danny Granger (calf) set to miss a lot of of time. Paul George will a lot of minutes at small forward, so Hill's playing time could be in the single digits. Hill is still way off the radar while Lance Stephenson had an intriguing preseason and is worth a look in some formats.

Sun Sep 29 201319:05Solomon Hill at the bottom of depth chart
Solomon Hill is still at the bottom of the depth chart for the Pacers, according to coach Frank Vogel.
"He's a rookie so he's at the very bottom of the depth chart for now," Vogel said. "But I don't anticipate he's going to stay there for long. [I've] just been very, very impressed with him. If he were called on and he had to be a big factor opening night, he would do very well. He's shown me a lot already." Hill had a nice summer, but he's nowhere near being on the fantasy radar.

Tue Aug 27 201313:58Solomon Hill 'ready to contribute' as rookie
Frank Vogel said that rookie F Solomon Hill looks "ready to contribute right away" for the Pacers.
Hill played well during the Orlando Summer League, averaging 12.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 48.9 percent from the field in under 30 minutes. Danny Granger (knee) is on pace to play in the Pacers opener, and if he's healthy Hill will be stuck as the third SF on the roster.
