Arizona's Solomon Hill has come on strong over the past six games, with statistical averages that are 50 percent higher than last season.

Hill was named the Pac-12's Player of the Week.

“I joke with (guard Kyle) Fogg, saying that him shooting helps my assist-to-turnover ratio,” Hill said. “Once he stops shooting or starts up-faking or dribbling it, it kind of takes my assists away.”

“He does a lot of good things for us,” head coach Sean Miller said. “It’s just important for him that he stays humble, that he stays hungry, and that he keeps working and that’s what got him to where he is now. To me, this is nothing more than a good start.”

Hill has played more minutes at power forward to help replace Derrick Williams and he is also trying to be more of a leader.

“He knows our system inside and out,” Miller said. “Once in a while his intelligence can actually backfire on him because he’ll deviate from the plan.”
