Aran Smith - 10/24/2007
Strengths: Incredibly quick and athletic point guard Shows a fearless attitude and competitive nature Extremely long wingspan (6-10) gives him a huge advantage at both ends of the floor Huge hands also give him great control of the ball An excellent ball handler and passer who appers to be on a steep learning curve. Extremely confident. Has a brashness and cockiness rarely found in European players Does a solid job of seperating his on and off court demeanor His length and reflexes make him a potential lock down defender Started playing organized basketball late, but has shown huge improvement in a short period of time
Weaknesses: Has all the physial tools and skills to be a great PG, but must develop his offensive skills and learn to master the PG position Lacks experience. Came out of nowhere during the summer impressing scouts at the Reebok Eurocamp, but an injury cut his camp short Must improve as a shooter. His mechanics are solid, but he must develop better consistency and ability to shoot off the dribble Improved body strength will give him better finishing ability and range on his shot Very shy kid off the court, must learn to be a vocal leader on the court
Notes: Was discovered at an open basketball camp in Guadeloupe (French Islands) sponsored by Mickael Pietrus

strong defensive player in the future ...
Weaknesses: Doesnt show much ability and initiative to create his own outside shots off the dribble, despite playing several minutes at the 2 position ... Defensively hes quite average due to a combination of factors. Even with his quick feet, he struggles to get through screens. His lack of body strength doesnt do him any favors either if the opponent drives on him. And what might be the most worrying part, is his below average awareness at both ends of the court ... Average weak side positioning in defense, too often gambling for steals at midcourt. On offense he got called 2 offensive fouls leading the fast break, making really bad decisions ... Hopefully and most probably this aspect will improve considerably as he continues gaining experience, but an important trouble spot to focus on nonetheless.
Outlook: All together hes still quite far away of being able to contribute regularly on any NBA or strong European team. 2 years left to make significant progress in order to convince NBA teams that hes worthy of a draft pick.
