Solo Ball is a great player and key part of this team

My concern is bad mechanics from the injury. If you play through an injury you can compensate, even subconsciously, you can affect your normal motion. If you sit while injured, that doesn't happen

This phenomenon is prevalent in Baseball.

I'm rooting for him of course but the biggest problem is he is an awful defender so if he doesn't shoot at a 40% clip he is a below average player. I do think he is underrated at driving to the basket and he should do more of this until he finds his stroke.

To put in perspective how bad Solo is shooting from 3, Alex can miss his next 46 3-point attempts and still have a higher shooting percentage than Solo.

Even saying that, Solo's shooting is vital for us going deep this year in the tournament. It's out of the question to think he'll shoot over 40% going forward but if he can shoot in the 35-38% range than we'll see a much more prolific offensive team the remainder of the year. I think we're only going to get better.

He was shooting poorly even before the injury.

He was sort of doing better in december, shooting 38.7%. Then he hurt his wrist in the butler game and has shot 20% since.

He hasn’t shot good or shall I say, up to last years numbers, all year. This is Dan trying to assist in an excuse. His wrist looks great on short pull ups so again, we need him to find his range again it’s a big piece moving forward.
