NBA Comparison: Zarko Cabarkapa/Mike Dunleavy

Aran Smith – 3/21/2008

Strengths: A point forward, has excellent ball handling and passing ability for a 6-10 guy. Was a 5-11 PG until a late growth spurt in high school turned him into a forward Retains a lot of his point guard instincts and abilities Has an excellent court sense and feel for the game His skill set is advanced for a college player Excellent outside shooter. Shoots 40% from 3. Also an excellent FT shooter: 82% His agility and speed is solid for his size Has improved his ball protection and decision making in his senior year Has stepped into the role as go-to scorer and team leader, carrying the Hawks to the NCAA Tournament Sets up teammates well with good vision and is very unselfish Has developed his one-on-one skills well, in particular his ability to use the dribble drive to score Shoots well off the dribble Uses both hands well around the basket

Weaknesses: His body is not up to NBA standard in terms of strength, he’s extremely skinny in the upper-body, and his narrow shoulders don’t give much optimism for adding bulk Strictly a perimeter player. Has a hard time doing anything inside despite his length due to his lack of body strength Appears as though he’ll never be able to put on more weight, and if he does it would slow him down If he’s unable to create shots for himself on the outside, he is in trouble as he is easily out-muscled and knocked off balance, and he seems to shy away from contact Skill set might work better in the European game Despite having solid speed and agility, lacks great leaping ability Short stride limits his ability to turn the corner and cover a lot of space driving from the perimeter

Notes: Has a twin brother named John who had to fore-go his basketball career due to medical problems at a young age Also has a younger brother, Nick, who is a standout PG for Florida …
