NBA Comparison: Brian Cardinal

Aran Smith – 10/14/2007

Strengths: Has turned into one of the top inside/outside threats on the college level … At his best playing around the basket where he uses his polished post skills and face the basket skills to exploit both bigger and smaller defenders … Good feel for the game. Does the little things to help his team win. A true warrior. Plays with a lot of toughness, heart and determination … A solid athlete, though his athleticism will be below average on the next level … Has really developed as a shooter and become a dangerous 3 point shooter (41/99) as a junior … Solid rebounder who positions himself well and battles for loose balls … Does a good job of setting picks and popping or rolling … Has excellent vision and is very tough to double and force into turnovers, usually can find the open man. 2.1 assists per game are great numbers from a post player … Could find a spot on an NBA roster as an energy bench guy … A solid defender who creates a lot of turnovers on sheer hustle …

Weaknesses: A tweener. Lacks a true position for the NBA level without the size and strength to play in the post or the foot speed to defend on the perimeter … Probably in the 6-8 1/2 range and lacks the body strength of the average NBA PF … Not a physical freak. Lack of foot speed makes it difficult for him to get by opponents off the dribble. Better spot up shooter than pull up, he needs to improve at shooting and creating off the dribble … Should be called upon to carry more of the offensive load as a senior and with Aaron Brooks off to the NBA … Has been asked to play almost solely in the post due to Oregon’s small ball attack, so his ball handling and perimeter skills have suffered some, although he loves to drift out to the perimeter for 3 pointers …
