The SOLO Basketball Score is a revolutionary metric designed to highlight and quantify the defensive contributions of basketball players. It offers a comprehensive measure of defensive performance, providing fans, analysts, and team managers with a new perspective on player evaluation.

The SOLO Score was developed by Shay Solomon, a high-tech executive specializing in cybersecurity and a passionate basketball fan. His unique blend of analytical skills and love for the game led him to create this innovative metric.

The SOLO Score is derived from a combination of key defensive statistics, each normalized and weighted to reflect their importance. The formula provides an accurate assessment of a player’s defensive impact, adjusted for playing time and context.

The SOLO Score includes parameters such as Steals Per Game (SPG), Blocks Per Game (BPG), Defensive Rebounds Per Game (DRPG), Defensive Box Plus/Minus (DBPM), Defensive Win Shares (DWS), Personal Fouls Per Game (PFPG), Defensive Rating (DRtg), Total Rebound Percentage (TRB%), Steal Percentage (STL%), and Block Percentage (BLK%).
