It looked to me like he was wearing a T-shirt over the jersey and shorts.
I know it is hot in Italy in the summer and the team is collectively on vacation, but I am not quite sure I would say he was wearing "street clothes" during the game.
Either way, he did not play, but he is there in good standing.
I am assuming holding him out is just for an abundance of caution over injury.
One thing I remember from previous seasons about Solo was the number of times you could credit Solo with the "rebound assist" if you will - that is with a great block out of the opponent's rebound machine so a guard could come in and secure the rebound. I expect to see more of that this year from Solo.
I thought that at first too that he was just wearing a shirt over his jersey but I noticed he was wearing shoes that he wouldn’t play in so I figured pretty early on he wasn’t playing. He also wasn’t in the photos of the team warming up so that was a clue for me too. Yup, you’re probably right, just being cautious with him which is understandable. He has a ton of potential and you don’t want to risk something that could impact that.
Noticed this from Conditt in his limited action last season. He understands when to look to the opposite wing. Niang was a master of this.
He had a couple real nice passes into and out of a give-and-go.
I remember one where Jackson was the inbounder, Conditt used his height to secure the ball, and the Dutch tried to double him... while Jackson turned on the jets... and George used his height (again) to pass out of it to a streaking Jackson for an easy layup.
Having the vision and cool to pass out of a double to an easy basket is nice to see from the young man. We are going to need a zone-breaker like that this season, too.
The big men do need to be more aware and have their hands up in the lane, though. It reminded me of the Royce years when Royce would pop Ejim or Gibson into what should have been good scoring position under the basket through a tight window, but the post man was not looking for the pass and it hit them in the chest, shoulder, or even in the head.
Haliburton is the same way. Solomon and George had their hands down a few times on passes that, if they were ready for them, would have turned into easy lay-ups.
Did he have an injury since Cap City League? I remember he was back home for personal reasons, but couldn't remember if he had something else.
I do not think it is anything new since the CCL injury -- just, again, being super cautious with him. The Dutch game was a "real" game, not a practice where he can wear a literal or metaphorical black jersey against his teammates that know his situation.
Leech is still definitely a long-term investment.
I'm pumped for GC. For as thin of frame as he had last year, he balled with some big dudes. I remember thinking he should have been in the last 4 minutes for the KState home game when they let a decent lead slip. Looking forward to his contributions this year.
Things like that don't count. It only counts if you shoot 3's and and make 1 on 1 dunks.
1 PM eastern / noon central for Game 2
It was fun to have a little bit of that basketball fix again.

How considerate of ISU for scheduling all of their games during the lunch hour in Iowa.
Rotate the camera. The players look like ants.
I want to see the court larger -- I know what the rafters look like.
