He's not lifting to bulk up or to cut and that stuff is really done in the kitchen. He's not a bodybuilder or a physique competitor. He lifts to get stronger and to be more explosive. He's not going to get too bulky from doing low rep benching/squats/whatever else as opposed to high rep and there's no such thing as lifting to get lean. That's not how it works. He should always be lifting heavy whether it's low reps or high reps.
This is classic…..wonder how much basketball some of you have ever played. Or if you so did you ever have to improve part of your game.
I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
And Mahaney was our best player in preseason game 1 last year. Obviously I’m expecting much, much more but we’re anointing a kid who hasn’t played a second of an official game as deadly and plus, plus etc. Burries was a higher rated prospect and he’s going through growing pains. Let’s just chill a bit. Someone the other day posted that Mullins will be our go-to guy for big shots etc already.
Personally, I'm not expecting him to come back and be a savior, but i do think adding his skill set into our current mix will be exciting.
After the Reibe foul on Bradley at the 16:50 mark in the second half we changed our approach with Reibe. Had him play drop coverage instead of hedging. AZ took advantage of this. AZ’s center would screen our defenders who were covering Burries and Bradley. That’s how those two continuously were able to drive to the basket.
I'm expecting him to bring some IQ to the 2/3 spots that is severely lacking in what we have rolling there these days. I expect him to do the little things better than what we have going on right now. Tarris is easily the more important of the two, but Mullins will bring value in ways that aren't just chucking 3's.
Idk. We have different sets of information here.
Solo's issues have nothing to do with his upper body. It's all in the footwork. You can tell if his shot is going in before his release. If he is squared and jumps straight up with minimal kick out, it's going in >60% of the time. Arizona made a conscious effort to deny Ball and Karaban the ball. Lloyd said as much in the post game. Solo rushed and was not squared on the majority of his 3s. Contrary, his form on the foul line jumpers was impeccable; weight balanced and straight up.
He is our third string center who was the backup to our second string center and his FT's hurt the team, but his play as a third string backup was better than could be expected. That is why we can arguably say we have a deep team.
Agreed. His off ball movement was uncommon for a high school/AAU player. He's a lot more than just a shooter. He just knows how to play the game and he's a quick decision maker. He also has that floater that we were bricking in the first half last night.
Nah, Jordan got very serious about weight training after the Pistons beat him up and heavy lifting was a huge part of his training.
Right.
Jordan was also not known as a shooter. He did that to drive to the rim more (something Solo also worked on this summer so maybe that was the priority)
This board has to be trolling me at this point. Only explanation.
I understood what you meant. I’m sorry you didn’t understand what I meant. Maybe that’s my fault. Maybe not. No hard feelings.
I love how I can link an article where the greatest shooter ever recognizes the theory and everyone can act like it's not a thing because I'm saying it.
IDK for everything I've seen (his HS games, U19) read (247, ESPN NBA draft positions predictions, Hurley comments, CBS and other youtube comments) he is the real deal.
No, not trolling. Just not a valid argument. No one on the coaching staff is letting Solo's weight training affect his shot. No way. Nutrition, weight training, sleep patterns, all that stuff is seriously undertaken by professionals (sports physiologists, medically backed nutritionists) who are held accountable.
Saying the coaching staff took the proper steps in weight training is different than completely disregarded the theory itself not being a thing.
Solo is probably lifting and shooting a couple hundred shots right after. At least that’s how mediocre college players like myself did it and it didn’t effect my game one bit when I checked in up by 30.
