NBA Comparison: Chris Anderson

Matthew Maurer – 3/25/2007

Strengths: For his size, Davidson has an impressive package of mobility and leaping ability Despite his size he runs the court like a guard, able to keep up on fast breaks Has shown the ability to hit the mid-range jumper out to 18 feet from the basket Decent ball handler able to catch the ball in the high post and turnaround or face up and drive to the basket Defensively Davidson shows quality shot blocking ability as his timing, long arms and quickness enable him to disrupt shots Displays good touch on his shot as he is able to convert the jump hook from various spots on the court Long arms and mobility allow for him to be an excellent out of position rebounder Mental toughness and focus have been tested this year as he has endured a series of personal tragedies off the court Potentially he is viewed has having a good deal of growth left to develop Quality finisher around the basket due to his athleticism which allows him to finish with flair Great help defender whos mobility allows him to make his presence felt from the weak side Body type suggests he should be able to add weight without sacrificing much athleticism

Weaknesses: Strength is a major question mark for him. Must add a good deal of weight and upper body strength to his frame Back to the basket moves are quite unrefined outside of his jump hook Defensively Davidson allows his assignment to gain good post position without much of a fight Has a tendency to get easily out muscled for rebounding position because he doesnt box his man effectively out Needs to be more assertive, tends to play passive at times and will defer to teammates Lack of body strength makes him prone to struggling to finish after contact occurs Doesnt really have a true position while his skill set would suggest a power forward his body and lack of post moves could make it difficult for him To compound matters the lack of perimeter shooting and ability to create offense for himself would make the transition to small forward troublesome Shot selection has been questionable as he will often settle for mid-range jumpers instead of getting closer to the basket

Aran Smith – 9/15/2006

Strengths: Long and tall post player with good quickness and athleticism Moves well in the open court, possessing excellent agility and leaping ability An excellent rebounder, hits the boards hard Solid defensively and a quality shot blocker because of his length and quickness off the floor Plays with good energy and due to his athleticism and rebounding ability has a chance to be a role player in the NBA His jump hook is effective if he can develop consistemcy with it …

Weaknesses: Desperately needs to add strength to his frame. He gets pushed around on the blocks by bigger and stronger post players and the problem will only get worse on the next level unless hes able to address his weight training Has a naturally skinny frame, so adding weight and maintaining his mobility could be a big challenge Lacks great offensive ability, his touch is below average. Lacks any real post moves Scores a majority of his baskets in close off of rebounds and put backs Needs to add a more consistent mid range shot to his game … A true PF skill wise. Lacks the versatility to play at the small forward position
