This is a tough one. We have not seen Pondexter play for a couple of years now. When fit, Pondexter could provide a good amount of offense off the bench. Whether we will see him again is another question.

The videos from Twitter show him back out on the court hitting jumpers from the corner, so fingers crossed for him that he can get back out there.

I do not believe his rating will be changed as we have not seen anything from him and will likely not see anything from him for a while longer.

Solomon Hill – 2k17 – 74

Projected 2k18 – 74

Hill was the back up to Paul George on the Pacers and came to the Pels with the hope of being a more productive starter.

Unfortunately, it did not really work out that way. Hill only had a career high in three-point percentage, which is useful if he can produce from deep, but there was no major improvement. In Hill’s defense, he was no worse than before, and his defense is a strong asset.

I do not believe Hill’s rating will change this year to what it was a year ago.
