Atlanta Hawks: Grading Solomon Hill’s season where he did it all

Atlanta Hawks season highlights for Solomon Hill

While Hill only averaged 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals in 21.3 minutes per game this season, he had a number of highlights. One of these was during the playoffs in New York when Nerlens Noel decided to knock past Trae Young and then walked straight at the Hawks team.

As a veteran and a player who makes an impact by doing the little things, Hill walked straight at Noel, and the two bumped each other. Noel did not react well, but Hill showed the Knicks that even when the game was not on, they would not tolerate intimidation tactics, especially against their team leader.

On the court, Hill had several good games offensively. He had five games where he scored more than ten points including one game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Hill scored 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting, which is an incredible game. Hill shot the 3-ball at 32.1 percent for the season but unfortunately, the Hawks lost this one despite his elevated shooting.

Hill seemed to like regular-season games against the Bucks, he only had one game this season where he collected more than 10 rebounds. He started the final game of their season series and help get the win for the Hawks with 12 rebounds.

It was an incredible effort because the Hawks were without Trae Young and it allowed the rest of the team to be a little bit more offensively focused.
