I don't think Hill is starting caliber. He should be a bench guy at best. His defense is not good enough to overshadow his lack of offense. He has good games here and there offensively but he is just not consistent enough to be a legit starter.
Here is a fun list.

Tier 7: Below average reserves and end-of-bench guys
42. Brandon Ingram - Los Angeles Lakers
43. Solomon Hill - New Orleans Pelicans
44. Richard Jefferson - Cleveland Cavaliers
45. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot - Philadelphia 76ers
46. Doug McDermott - Oklahoma City Thunder
47. Luol Deng - Los Angeles Lakers
48. Mindaugas Kuzminskas - New York Knicks
49. Kelly Oubre - Washington Wizards
50. Jerami Grant - Oklahoma City Thunder
So yeah, Hill is not an average starting caliber small forward.
