Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5194255, member: 1268"] I tossed out the RW comp early in the season based on their size/metrics. RW sized out at 6’ 2.25 at the combine. He’s not a tall guy, but really strong with the ball. I’d think Solo out of shoes is probably around 6’ 1.5 to 6’1.75. There are some readings out there of Solos vert being 43” with a wingspan of 7 feet. RW is 36.5” and 6’8”. Massive advantage Solo if accurate. You’re right their games are a lot different. Where I think RW would kill it is in the quickness drills, shuttles. He’s just a stronger, quicker, twitchier athlete in game. Been my view that if Solo can put on some muscle, play around 200 (like RW) and learn to finish strong through contact, that’s what gets him there. He’s not an NBA player as a 6’2” exclusive off the ball sharpshooter. A kid like Reed last year who around the same size and shot it at 52% from 3 got drafted high based on his projection as a PG. You look at a kid like Haggerty this year, about the same size as Solo, lighting it up, and he’s not on mock draft boards anywhere. Size is the issue. Meanwhile a Jeremiah Fears is getting lottery hype because he’s a multi dimensional dynamic scorer, even through its ghastly bad efficiency as a freshman. [/QUOTE]
