LaMarcus Aldridge

LaMarcus Aldridge

Team: Dallas (TX) Seagoville HS
Position: Center
Year: High School Senior
Size: 6’11”, 292

Stats (per game): 28.9 points / 13.4 rebounds


Notes: Withdrew from NBA Draft. Signed to play for Texas.

The Skinny:
Very athletic post player finishes inside and has some finesse post scoring ability, and he won’t try to do too much. He has long arms and uses them well for blocking shots and rebounding. All of that said, he seems to lack a killer instinct, as he doesn’t dominate games like he should, and reportedly his high school team did not made the playoffs in his first three years in a league that is not very competitive. He still needs to get stronger, though he’s not rail-thin.
