That kid didn’t end up being very good.

I don’t get this comp. Always thought of Emmitt as much less bouncy & a better shooter. Solo is less a shooter & bouncy as no other

I mean thats all totally fair. I'm sure its all the lefty biasing me haha
 
Does anyone else kind of think of Jalen Green from the rockets a little? His game may not be as sharp but his movements are very similar to me.

Maybe a little. Green is one of the most athletic guards to come out in the last decade, and he’s a volume 3pt shooter. That bar might be a little high for Solo.

Reminds me of Shaq, just a better ball handler, better shooter, better FT, shorter, worse rebounder, less athletic, smaller, shorter, worse post-game, worse dunker, and worse defender.

I also have seen no videos of him playing and know nothing about the kid.

that's it? that's all that u got? all the time that u had to think on, ponder, ruminate (you cow!), contemplate, consider, mull over, deliberate, dwell on, brew over, cogitate, and chew over (you cow!), and this is what u come up with?
ok, which one?


i like this guy, but i don't see him in any of these group shots yet.
yes, i swear. at you, you cow. and i hope that lefty plans to always be here.

c'mon now, that 'ambidunkstrous' label is how it's done. they should tie you up in the dessert like that guy in the vid for this effort.

Solomon Ball first Nike EYBL game Kansas City- Active on defense, he's tough in man to man and good at jumping passing lanes. Should have had some huge dunks but his teammates were terrible at finding him on the break. He went up for a poster dunk on like 4 defenders and got blocked.

Offensively plays off the ball. Knocked down 3 of his 6 threes. Hit some midrange pullups where he gets great elevation. He's great at taking it to the rim, explosive and strong finishing around the basket. He's going to be a beast on the boards as a guard, his second jump ability is insane. Noticeably way more athletic than everyone else on the floor. Only thing I didn't love is that he was 6-10 on ft's, stroke looks pretty pure though.

This kid already looks elite with huge upside. Superstar potential. He's way underranked.

Jayden Ross- Didn't start, had a really nice And 1 finish on an alley oop from Ball, late third quarter had a pretty take and dropped a teardrop in the lane and then hit a three on the break. He was active. Swooped in for defensive rebounds and was immediately looking ahead with a pass or to push the ball with the dribble.

Ross looks at a minimum like a good piece who has his best basketball ahead of him. He honestly looked better than I thought he would. Ball's best basketball is ahead of him as well but holy crap is he good right now. We hit the jackpot with this kid.

Ball had 35 pts. and it easily could've been well over 40 pts if his teammates found him and he made his ft's.
