It’s still early in the season, but if I had to vote now, my choice for the “craziest performance by a scrub” award would go to Solomon Hill for this 28 outburst against the Wizz.
It’s not entirely unexpected; Han Solomon has been getting big minutes in relief of all the dead people on the Pacers roster, and he has been scoring in double figures for a couple games now.
Keep in mind, though, that he scored all of 47 points last year. This is way over half of that, all in one game. That fact pushes this game over the top. Any other “crazy performance by a scrub” pales in comparison to this particular crazy performance. Except for maybe that Alex Kirk game where he scored 2 points, which is 2 more points than anyone could have ever anticipated.
