Yet people here will still clown him. Solo is our best player and it's time to stop the slander.

He won't win it; but if he plays top 10 we very well might.

I'd argue he's not our best player but he's very good. Right now I'd say Silas is the best player on the team. Easily the best defensively and close to best offensively.

Toss up for the other four starters on who is second, they all bring slightly different things.

Solo Ball came into the season as exclusively a three point shooter. He hasn’t been able to hit a three to save his life. He’s still averaging almost 15 PPG and is the leading scorer of a top 3 team in the nation

He won’t win this award but he’s a lot better than this board gives him credit for
