Sort of funny that you mention Fox - the ringer just had the below on the progression of his game this year:

De’Aaron Fox, who is averaging a career-high 29.9 points, is taking four more shots per game than he did last season, with the most notable difference coming behind the arc. Fox has cut out deep midrange jumpers in favor of taking more 3s: Last season, he attempted six pull-up 2s and only 2.7 pull-up 3s per game. This season, he’s taking 4.8 pull-up 2s and five pull-up 3s. We’re still dealing with small samples here, but his percentages are up, and clearly Fox intends to go from an All-NBA guard to a potential MVP candidate by raising his scoring efficiency and volume.

I think that you're right in the Solo can be much more than just a shooter, but the guy hasn't been able to consistently get by his man and he's taking clean looks in an offense that prioritizes that - what's the issue?  Guards/wings these days need to be able to shoot, unless you're so good at doing everything else that it doesn't matter (Jackson).

I'd be more worried if he were missing from midrange constantly.
