Solo looks to be working already

[MilliniumPrince]

..Damn

 

[Mr. French]

I have 2 options here -

1. Drop my jaw because a 6'3 guard just threw down a between the legs dunk off of a 1 step dropstep
2. Brush it off because he's posting dunks on Instagram instead of getting three point reps up, at 9pm on a Tuesday, after the season ended

I pick #1

Also option 3: assume he’s doing both dunks and shooting reps, and drop your jaw while being super happy we have a freak scoring guard ready to explode as a sophomore.

Who cares. If Hurley isn't complaining then I have no issue at all with them doing this

You can be jeered at, but right answer. Anyone who thinks Hurley wants his players in the gym shooting tik too videos instead of practicing 3s and foul shoots doesn’t understand Hurley yet. (And that’s not knocking Solo, who may have shot the video in between hundred sets of foul shots for all any of us know — just agreeing that players filming highlight reel dunks isn’t making anyone or the team better.)

Considering how often Hurley goes on podcasts, I understand him to be someone who appreciates the value of marketing.

Filming dunks is no substitute for putting in the work but they're not mutually exclusive and I think it's reasonable to assume Solo didn't go the gym to film a dunk. (Not that I'd care if he did.)

My goodness

Look at the clock and shot clock in the video. Clock set to 23:24 and shot clock to 6

I'm impressed they're even back in the gym. If I had just won a title 8 days ago, I'd still be partying

Right. Same here. It's why I was never able to make it to that level.

Well, that...and I'm 5'7", relatively unathletic, and it took until adulthood for me coach my left thumb out of my jumpshot. It's a damn good shot now, but, you know. . .

He has all the talent in the world. But he needs to get to a place where he’s more sure of what he’s supposed to be doing on the court in the sets. Hass, Cam, TNew, etc were much more assertive. Ball caught the ball and hesitated which threw off the timing of the plays.

And if he did that for 3 hours, then posted a 5 second video of this.... ?

Especially in his 14 point game against UNC

Boy oh boy... Worst thing to ever happen to us in one regard was winning these back to backs - brings out the clown show new posters to the 'Yard

*not directed at anyone in particular, but sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh... had to be said

 

[Mr. French]

Every player I’ve ever known tried dunks before practice or workouts. It’s almost weird if he didn’t do this during a session.

 

[1999GoodSon]

Of course he's showing off.

Hell, if I could do that, that's all I'd ever do!

And they all played several years of college ball…we didn’t see any of their freshman seasons…

 

[TouchdownHusky]

He stayed after his teammates left. He was just having some fun while practicing solo. Lol

 

[3rdbass]

Literally not worried about this once he has the ball more and it’s his show. He just has to take a backseat this year for good reason.

I'm still worried about his handle as he's gonna need it if he wants to get to the next level and not just be a jump shooter.
