NBA Comparison: Rod Strickland

Aran Smith – 5/7/2006

Strengths: Tough nosed lead guard with excellent speed and quickness … Gets a step on his man and he’s gone … Tough to contain due to his ability to get by defenders and into the paint … Tremendous finisher, very good at scoring around the basket … Steps up in clutch situations, doesn’t cave under pressure … Good ball handler, strong one on one skills … Feisty competitor, plays with a chip on his shoulder … Plays with a lot of attitude … Very passionate, as witnessed by his reaction after he missed the two free throws keeping the Tigers out of the 2005 NCAA tournament … Gets to the line well and shoots at a solid clip (just under 80%) … Has good body strength … Decent vision and passing skills … Has explosiveness, but rarely shows it in game situations …

Weaknesses: Still not the all around floor general that he needs to be for success on the next level … Decision making can be questionable at times … Lacks great range on his shot … Struggled shooting the ball in his sophomore season, his overall statistics dropped from his freshman year … Must improve his shot selection … Assist to turnover ratio is very concerning at below 1-1 … Must get a lot better at protecting the ball … Defensive intensity and effort can improve … Developed a reputation as being a bit of a hot head in high school … Not much of a rebounder …
