--Basketball--

STATS
NBA position: SF
Draft projection for 2010 Draft (if enters): Lottery
Style of play: Josh Smith
Notes: With Jeff Teague and James Johnson leaving Wake for the NBA, Aminu will need to rise up and lead the Demon Deacons. He has the talent to do so and is very confident that he can do that. He is a big small forward who at times will even show off some post skills. He likes to drive to the hoop and get out on fast breaks. Hopefully he can smoothen up his game and become more consistent. Last year, I had his style of play as Luol Deng, but as Deng is really regressing and Aminu is a potential top 5 pick, I changed it to Josh Smith, and really, that is more accurate to his style. Deng shoots too many jump shots, but Smith really suits Aminu's description well.

Positives: Athletic... Long... Great leaper... Explosive... Good runner... Good vision... Good rebounder... Quick... Gets out on break... Very skilled around the basketball... Good driver.
