Read scouted ? Read

8 of 16 rules fired.

The findings below come from a deterministic rule engine — every number is a value in the mart, cited beneath the sentence it supports.

This player's opening paragraph is different. He has 19 published scouting reports (BeBasket, Eurohopes, NBA Draft Room, Scouting Lab), and the paragraph is written from them rather than from a rule. It is the only generated prose on this page. Findings marked " are also a scout's opinion, not a measurement, and carry their outlet and date instead of a mart path. The originals are linked under "What the scouts wrote" below — read them before you rely on the summary.

Rule findings are never removed to agree with a scout. Where the two point opposite ways, the finding says so.

Scouts have called Soliman the most highly touted prospect of the 2009 generation for three years running, and the reports read as one continuous story rather than a series of opinions. The constant is feel: decision-making and poise repeatedly described as uncommon for his age, a smooth and balanced release off both catch and dribble, and defensive versatility that lets him switch across three to five positions. The variable is his body — evaluators tracked him from "significant room to add muscle" in September 2025 to "looks stronger than he did at previous events" by June 2026, and the same period saw a specific, named improvement in shot selection.

The reservations are consistent and worth weighing. His athleticism is repeatedly graded as good-enough rather than flashy, and more than one scout notes he struggles to create separation off the dribble in the half court against smaller forwards — his damage comes in transition, off cuts, and with his back to the basket. An early read flagged softness at the rim and unforced turnovers; later reports do not repeat it.

Written from 19 published reports (BeBasket, Eurohopes, NBA Draft Room, Scouting Lab) — not from the model. The score and every finding beside it are unaffected.

Strengths (7)
+ Playing 10.3 years younger than the typical regular at his level — the strongest age-relative signal in the model.mart.prospect.months_younger_than_level = 124.2
+ Improving and climbing at the same time: adjusted production up 3.6 while his level rose 10 points on the Level Index. Holding production while moving up is a stronger signal than improving at the same tier.mart.prospect.delta_composite = 3.633, delta_level = 9.72
+ Size is a genuine advantage — 204 cm (6'8"), 91th percentile among wings his age.mart.prospect.height_cm = 204, physical_pct = 90.6
+ Already tested at LNB Pro B (Elite 2) (Level Index 85) — senior basketball, not a youth bracket.mart.prospect.top_level = 85.33
" Repeatedly singled out for decision-making and poise "very uncommon for a player of his age" — he lets the game come to him and rarely forces plays.Eurohopes — Pietro Cristofori & Jonathan Dogbo, Jan 2025 / Oct 2025

" Athleticism graded good-enough rather than special — "not flashy, but good enough to compete at the highest level".Eurohopes — Pietro Cristofori, Oct 2025 Model says the opposite: Size is a genuine advantage — 204 cm (6'8"), 91th percentile among wings his age.
" Struggles to gain space off the dribble in half-court sets against smaller forwards; his scoring comes in transition, off cuts and from the post.Eurohopes — Albert Juncà, Mar 2026
Context (5)
· Reads statistically as a balanced contributor — listed SF, 204 cm (6'8").mart.prospect.primary_role = 'Balanced Contributor', height_cm = 204
· Seen across 5 competitions in the window (fiba-u16-euro-a, fiba-u17-wc, fr-nm1, fr-pro-b, int-angt) — his cross-level observations are also what the league-strength model is fitted on.mart.prospect.n_competitions = 5
· Well sampled: 3122 minutes over 121 games.mart.prospect.minutes = 3122
" Scouts tracked a real physical change across 2025–26, from "significant room to add muscle" to "looks stronger than he did at previous events", alongside a specific improvement in shot selection.Eurohopes — Albert Juncà, Sep 2025 vs Jun 2026
" Has played against older competition in INSEP's system since 2022 and finished 2025-26 in France's ProB, so most of this scouting is of a player facing men.Eurohopes — Albert Juncà, May 2026
Score breakdown ? Score breakdown

Every number here is a percentile within the 2009 cohort — 528 players who cleared the sample floor. 50 is the middle of his own age group, not of basketball.

Weighted 32 / 24 / 16 / 12 — Production, Level, Age vs level, Skill markers. Physical and Confidence scale the whole score instead, by up to 10% and 6%; they can lower it, never raise it. Move the weights on the board →

Production ? Production

How much he produced, once you strip out how easy his competition was and how old he is. Points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in one number, per 40 minutes, then shrunk toward the average if we have seen little of him.

For him: age + level adjusted.

100
Level ? Level

The best competition he has genuinely held a role in — weighted by how big that role was, plus a little credit for the strongest competition he has appeared in at all.

For him: strongest competition with a reliable sample.

100
Age vs level ? Age vs level

How young he is for the company he keeps. Months younger than the typical regular where he has held a real role, plus a little credit for the gap at the strongest competition he has appeared in at all — the same shape as Level, because reaching an ACB floor at seventeen counts even for two minutes.

For him: 124 months younger.

100
Skill markers ? Skill markers

True shooting, three-point volume x accuracy, assist-to-turnover, free-throw rate, and steals plus blocks — the markers that tend to survive a move up a level. Ranked against others in his position group and birth year.

For him: TS · 3P vol×acc · A/TO · FTr.

97
Physical ? Physical

His height as a percentile among players of the same POSITION and age — 206 cm is average for a centre and exceptional for a wing. It can only subtract, and only below the median: average height for your position costs nothing, and the compression grows to at most 10% for the genuinely undersized.

For him: within SF his age.

91
Confidence ? Confidence

How much of him we have actually seen — minutes, share of his team's games, and how many separate competitions. This is a statement about our data, not a judgement about the player.

For him: how much we have seen — 3,122′ · 121 GP · estimated profile.

Career Adj: his 38.8 vs a 2009 median of 25.9 ? Career

One row per competition-season, because "how good is he" is only answerable per level.

Lvl is the fitted Level Index band. Adj is his composite production translated to the FIBA youth Division A baseline at age 20 — the number that makes a Lithuanian U18 line and an ACB line comparable.

Reading Adj. A per-40 composite (points + 0.7·rebounds + assists + steals + blocks − 0.7·turnovers) after the competition effect and the age effect have been removed, so two rows compare directly however far apart their levels are. For scale, the median among ranked 2009-born players is 25.9; his own window figure is 38.8 after sample shrinkage.

Development standing in the 2009 cohort ? Development

Each point is his level- and age-adjusted production over the twelve months ending that quarter, placed against everyone born in 2009 who also had 150+ minutes in their own trailing year. 100 is the top of his age group.

A rising line is a player pulling away from his own age group; a flat one at a higher level is still progress.

It is built from the same fitted coefficients as the Prospect Score's largest component, applied to the games played up to each quarter — not a separate model, and not a reconstruction of the Score itself, which exists only for today.

Recent form is a rolling 10-game composite per 40 over his last games — raw output, not translated, because form is about what he is doing now.
