Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5339831, member: 12147"] Late to the party but Solo actually does have a tight handle. He’s never been primary playmaker but he was able to get the ball into the offense without turning it over and even tossing in some between the leg or behind the back dribbling. The handle is solid In between the swarm of him coming off screens for threes, I don’t remember him consistently using those moves to get by a defender and swinging it to the open man, or running a fast break to get other guys shots. Those are the PG skills he doesn’t have, not handles I would agree his NBA calling card is to play CG, not just SG. I think I’ve said it before here but if he develops just basic PG skills on top of his shooting, that’s a much more interesting prospect. If he doesn't, we’ll still be an amazing team and he’ll be competing for All BE teams, but the NBA upside is more limited 6’6 Jordan Hawkins was projected first round/lottery most of the year and made 106 threes at 38.8% (16.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 1.8 APG). 6’3 Solo, in the same role, wasn’t on draft boards after making 99 threes at 41.4% (14.4 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.6 APG). Positional size matters for the next step [/QUOTE]
