re: To those who think Solo is Grossly Overpaid

We get it, you think all contracts are equal. Dumbass

Lester you crack me up bro

And I tend to agree with you on most things

It's only year 1 into his contract, so you can't close the book on him. Year 1 it's a bad contract. $12m per for "3 & D".. you may get the D but you're not getting the 3

These numbers were through 3/8/17 through 65 games, per Ginsberg

He shot 34% on corner 3s when league avg is 39% from the corner (76 attempts). Career 36% from there in 187 attempts to that point

93% of his 3PA were classified as open or wide open, he his 33% of those shots

Hill took 61 three pointers with at least 15 seconds left on the shot clock, making 20 of them (32.8%)


You can find the threads, i was all over the Hill signing; thought it was great. I love what he adds to the culture of the team and his relentless hustle, but if I have to sit through 41 games at the blender and watch him clank wide open 3s. He's overpaid and has to be better, I'm sure he would agree with that

Cunningham for the bulk of his career shot under 20% from 3. Then last season, he shot nearly 40%.

I just hope that whatever they did with DC to make him a reliable 3pt shooter they're doing with Solo, and next year he'll shoot somewhere in the 38-40% range.

It's his career 38% fg % (including all shots) that makes me skeptical or at best cautiously optimistic.

He not only needs to get better from downtown, he needs to learn how to finish.

What blows my mind is that if he has the athleticism to be a plus defender, why is it he can't use that same athleticism to make an open (or mildly contested) layup?

I could live with 34-35% on 3pt shots if he could pump fake, get the defender off his feet and drive to the rim with authority, either finishing himself or dishing to one of our stud big men should their guy abandon them to stop his drive.

That's an awful lot of improvement to make over one summer. But hey, stranger things have happened. Cautious optimism...

Dante Cunningham takes 75% of his 3P from the corner, and all of them are assisted. Kudos to him for improving and at least getting that shot down. You can tell he worked hard on the corner 3 (while still being a poor FT shooter). One of his good qualities is knowing what shot he can take.

But outside of that, he isn't very successful from other spots on the perimeter and he cannot create his own offense. On top of being a poor rebounder for 6'8" 230. He probably only gets 25 mpg on our team and a few others in the NBA

Not much of that has to do with Solo, but if he can at least hit the corner and WIDE OPEN 3 efficiently he would probably be worth a few more Ws.

Glad it took you a 30mil dollar discrepancy for you to understand not all contracts are equal

Stop trolling Earl. LOL. You are cracking me up. All contracts are equal! You said that! You did! Blah blah blah.

If I said all contracts are equal then you clearly said that Solo is awesome and underpaid. LOL

Now Evan Turner at 17.5m, that's grossly overpaid. It could be much much worse

Beany CHA invested 2nd overall pick on MKG and really had no choice to extend him on the rookie extension. Not to mention the guy has 17, 15, and two 14 PER seasons

What we have in Hill is, NOP chose to go after him in an open market, one in which many said did not have suitors for Hill, especially at 12 per. This is a guy they chose to go out and help AD to make this team formidable. Guy put up an 8 PER last season w/ a 12 as a career high.

Turner is bad. Agreed
