NBA Comparison: Bobby Simmons

Aran Smith – 1/28/2008

Strengths: Talented small forward with excellent scoring ability … An NBA athlete. Physical specimen with a great strength and athleticism combination … Shows a lot of potential as his skills are steadily catching up with his athletic tools … Scores well after contact using his upper body strength and toughness to muscle through contact … Has a tremendous body with good strength to go inside for rebounds … Has worked hard at becoming a wing forward increasing his ball handling and driving ability from the perimeter … He now possesses solid ability to face the basket and drive to the rim … Has a great set of soft hands, rarely losing the ball once in his grasp and also giving him a soft touch on his shot… Really crashes the glass hard and gathers boards at a high rate … His background playing in the post helps him at the next level as he will be able to post up weaker small forwards, as well as rebound the ball … Uses his strength well to overpower players around the basket … An excellent athlete with long arms (7-foot wingspan) and explosive leaping ability …

Weaknesses: Needs to improve upon his range and outside shooting … He shot very well as a junior but has seen his % from behind the arc drop off as a senior (42% to currently 30%) … A little bit of a tweener. While his strength gives him an advantage inside against other wing players, his thick legs and great strength take away some of his foot speed, especially defensively on the perimeter. Although he’s plenty quick for the small forward position … Can be a little undisciplined defensively, getting into foul trouble due to over-aggresiveness going for shot blocks or steals … Playing in the A10 takes some of the luster away from his near 20 ppg average … He’s the most athletic player on the floor in virtually every game he plays in, so he’ll need to adjust to become more fundamentally sound with regards to rebounding technique and using fakes instead of bullying right through opponents …
