NBA Comparison: Dwight Howard

Aran Smith – 9/18/2007

Strengths: Exciting bigman with a lot of promise At 7-feet, his rare athleticism and explosive leaping ability gives him a tremendous amount of potential Hes got a huge frame and can add a lot of weight and become a dominant interior force on both ends of the floor His combination of size, length, and explosiveness makes him a quality shot blocker now who can develop into a dominant one with added coaching and discipline Very solid in the transition game as he gets out and runs the floor very well for a 7 footer A quality rebounder who shows solid effort but must learn better positioning under the basket

Weaknesses: Needs to develop his body, strengthening his arms and upper body and toning his legs … Despite being a bigtime athlete, hes still extremely raw fundamentally Right now his offensive game is limited to mostly dunks and follow up shots around the basket Still needs to add a lot to his game, so its unlikely hell be ready to contribute much after just one season at Texas A&M Lacks range. He has decent touch, but lacks any real post moves or great offensive understanding A year in college will definitely help him to pick up better foot work and post moves … Will need to develop a mid range shot as well as improve upon his free throw shooting Added strength will give him confidence and the ability to play more aggressively He is Shaq and Wilt like at the line. Really must improve as a free throw shooter …
