Nope, I got Heat vs 76ers.

Congratulations to Solomon on his first NBA points. 2 for 4 from the field so far with 3 rebounds and 2 fouls. He looks pretty darn good so far. The commentators even said he doesn't seem like he is a rookie.

He can still shoot from the line...  

6 points on the day.

Man, to think that USF has two NBA players which is kind of strange considering that we have not made much noise in college basketball as of late. Way to go, Chucky and Sol!!!!

2 nba players isnt very many.  i am not even going to check but i bet its last in the big east.

[Bullsayer]

Sol played some quality minutes. 6 points and 3 boards. Wait till he learns some good NBA Defense and gets a few shot blocks. Seems like a great move for the Hawks and for ole Sol. He deserves it.

2 isnt very many...especially when one of them played at usf 10 years ago.  BB and altron werent coached well enough at the collegiate level to make it to the next level and Mac hasnt recruited anyone who is talented anough to amke it to the next level, except Sol of course, whom it seems was drafted on his althetic ability, raw talent and vast upside.  

I have been watching the Hawks games this year, Shelden Williams isnt that good, Marvin Williams is hurt and dint prove much last year, Zaza Pachulia is pretty good offensively but plays no d, so Solomon as a big man can def make a name for himself and earn an everyday role on that team.  Good for him...go bulls.
