But as an undersized 2 that has only 1 elite skill (shooting), that reduces him to 2nd round material at best to most NBA teams. Good thing for him is that his 1 elite skill is a skill all teams are always looking more for, so like you said if he can at least bring up a couple other aspects of his game to above average, he can get himself solidly in the draft conversation more. Take a look at Koby Brea from last year. He's basically more or less the same player as Solo with elite 3-pt shooting but has those extra 3-4". But he's even worse than Solo at all other aspects of the game, so he ended up getting drafted 41st. If Solo can show he has enough handle and passing and passable defense to at least play as a combo guard in spurts and show he can be more than just a spot-up sharpshooter, I think he can put himself into the end of first round/early 2nd round convo. Or if he can develop a reliable pull-up 3-pt shot, that would also do wonders to his NBA value. He has the athleticism to at least partially make up for his undersized stature. [/QUOTE]
