NBA Comparison: N/A

Aran Smith – 9/27/2006

Strengths: Long agile forward who displays a high level of energy and athleticism Gives solid effort at all times Explosive player capable of highlight reel dunks Runs the court well, very good transition player Can spot up for mid range shots and likes to shoot from the baseline Uses his long arms and athleticism well to grab rebounds Hits the glass hard and scores well on put backs His defensive ability is average, but he has the length and athleticism to become an excellent defender if he works at it Should make an excellent power forward on the college level, but how well he can transition into a small forward is the question

Weaknesses: A bit of a tweener, size and skill wise, Hes 6-8 with long arms, but lacks the body to carry a great deal of weight Will need to develop more perimeter skills to make it is a small forward. Hes plays better around the basket His feel for the game is suspect. Lacks great perimeter skills, his passing and ball handling are weak Needs to work on his offensive game, his range is limited and his one on one game lacks polish Cant pull up off the dribble Needs to add a lot of strength/weight to his frame

Notes: Chose Duke over Rutgers in a close recruiting battle. Figures to inject a high level of athleticism into the Duke program and be a 4 year Dukie
