Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5346902, member: 1268"] The double down! Solo Ball and those two guys are entirely different types of athletes. I was mislead into thinking Solo had higher physical upside before last season, based on measurements. He's just not that, not nearly the high twitch springy athlete they are. I don't care what his vertical is. Westbrook specifically was a rabid defender and a fast break waiting to happen. I didn't see one demonstration out of Solo, not one last year, of an explosive athlete . I saw a super silky jumper. Do you think that Russell Westbrook was ever the 1500th ranked defensive player in college basketball, at any point in his college career? He was Pac10 DPOY. I know this ridicuous thread is about showcasing Solo at PG for his NBA potential. We don't need it, we have two PG's already. We don't need to experiment, we have the ability as a program to attract ready made players in glaring holes. Bringing them in was intentional because the staff saw enough of Solo's ballhandling (so did we) last year to know he's not it. Westbrook was a late bloomer that grew a ton late in HS, grew up a PG. Grew 7 inches late in HS. [/QUOTE]
