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.
