Calvin Solomon brings UTEP length, rim protection and efficient finishing
Solomon is a 6-7 forward whose value shows up in the unglamorous stuff: he finishes efficiently, rebounds, and can protect the rim, as seen in his 2022-23 season at Stephen F. Austin when he averaged 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, shot 54% from the field, and led the team with 20 blocks. [1] He also has a track record of starting and contributing in multiple roles, which suggests he can be a steady fit if UTEP wants a physical, defense-first frontcourt piece rather than a high-usage scorer.
