Solomon Ball Highlights from EYBL

[Apollo]

 

[mauconnfan]

So much to like but for me those stop and pops from 10ft are wonderful.

 

[QuickDraw]

I hope he can consistently hit those long 3's because he seems to be comfortable driving through traffic

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Good luck stopping him and Castle going to the rim.

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Giving me shades of a left handed Jaden Ivey… me likey

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

Looks really comfortable using both hands.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

He and Castle together are going to be incredible - they compliment each other's games pretty perfectly... love that he can use both hands well and score from all 3 levels. It's going to be fun to watch.

 

[tennmike]

He puts a ton of pressure on the opposing team trying to guard him. We're going to have guys open all over the court. Hope his vision is as good as his mobility and assertiveness.

 

[Son of Robert]

Definitely an aggressive scorer, from these clips.

 

[gtcam]

He likes to take it to the hoop and does it with speed and strength - plays bigger than 6'3" so he will be a hard guard for the opponent. Looks comfortable with the perimeter shooting. Need to see more of his handle/passing. He looks like a real good one

 

[Chin Diesel]

So much to like but for me those stop and pops from 10ft are wonderful.

Around the 1:16 mark, he catches ball in the corner, drives and is able to stop and pull up avoiding the charge. That was big time.

 

[Incursio007]

If his defense is better than his offense, my goodness do we have a player on our hands.

 

[Kenny11]

Dyson-level is his floor!

 

[Mooch82]

If his defense is better than his offense, my goodness do we have a player on our hands.

I think I remember reading that his defense was a bit of a fault for him....but he has the athletic ability, so with the right coaching (and we have that), it could certainly turn into a strength.

 

[auror]

Dyson-level is his floor!

Definitely see some Dyson, and it's only partially the lefty shot.

 

[Chuck]

Definitely see some Dyson, and it's only partially the lefty shot.

Dyson was a righty, no?

 

[tykurez]

Wow 2023/2024 is going to be fun

 

[uconngb]

Dyson was a righty, no?

He was looking in the mirror

 

[husky429]

Looks really comfortable using both hands.

Very left-hand dominant right now. That an inconsistency shooting the rock are his biggest things to improve

 

[Umami Zen]

His coach at Brewster says he reminds him of one of his former players at Brewster.. Donovan Mitchell

 

[ctchamps]

The first thing I thought watching that film was Dyson including the long range bombs.

If his defense is better than his offense, my goodness do we have a player on our hands.

He takes defense seriously. Was assigned Castle when the teams played against one another.

One difference which should make @Chief00 happy is Ball is disciplined in improving his game.

Dyson-level is his floor!

That’s a high floor but agree with you if he regains his three point shooting percentage he had before his growth spurt.

 

[RichZ]

SOLOMAN CAN BALL!

 

[seeya27]

Noticed his team was losing in many of the clips. Was he a starter? Loved how he played to contact & took it hard to the basket.

Big, big upside.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Very left-hand dominant right now. That an inconsistency shooting the rock are his biggest things to improve

Highlights showed he can dribble (fairly?) equally well with either hand. And we have all noticed how he loves to throw the hammer down with his right hand. Shooting I imagine is left-dominant. But in general, seems very balanced to the point of almost being ambidextrous in some ways?
