NBA Comparison: Scottie Pippen

Aran Smith – 6/27/2006

Strengths: Elite run/jump athlete who finishes well above the rim … High flyer … Very versatile… Does everything well … Complete offensive arsenal… Can hit the mid range jumper… Excellent at slashing to the hoop… Accurate passer who is very unselfish… Does the majority of his damage in the post … Very tough to defend… Doesnt get pushed around down low … Runs the floor well … Tough on the boards… Works harder than everyone else on the court … Will most likely play on the wing at the next level … Extremely long (7-3 wingspan) and freakishly athletic … Has shows tremendous potential. Late to the game, so his lack of a great feel could improve over time, he wasn’t seriously coached until he was a junior in high school …

Weaknesses: Though he’s just 19 years of age, his sophomore year was supposed to be his to take over college basketball. When that didn’t happen, people began to question his desire and intensity and whether he has it in him to become great … He floats in and out of games, and tended to defer to teammates in clutch situations … Is it a lack of fire, or just a lack of maturity and confidence? Time will tell … Unselfish to a fault, like Vince Carter, he almost takes being the perfect teammate too far. He’s a star and should act like one … He still struggles to create offense for himself off the dribble, getting the majority of his baskets off of rebounds, or passes from tammates …
