Norcross '08

Plays Like: Luol Deng, Tayshaun Prince
Committed To: Wake Forest

Aminu has an extremely intriguing body-type and athletic ability that should be intriguing to NBA teams that run a fast paced, "small ball" style, and could log minutes at the power forward spot in a fast-paced system if he gains some muscle mass. He is more suited for the 3, displaying ball handling abilities and good moves off the dribble to the basket. He has a very smooth jumpshot. He is a very good ball handler and is capable of leading the break if its off of a long rebound. He is an extremely fluid athlete and finishes dunks with ease. Plays extremely hard, and has a pretty good basketball IQ.

He is a capable rebounder but could improve, may need to get stronger to play any power forward. He loves his outside shot but needs to take it to the rim more. Could learn to capitalize on his length in the post better, but may not need to if he is used as a small forward.

Devin Ebanks
Patterson '08
SF - 6'8 - 185 lbs
Plays Like: Rudy Gay, Caron Butler
Committed To: Indiana

Athletic wing with a scorer's mentality. Very good form on his shot. Devin is extremely versatile due to his wingspan, and allows him to play bigger than he is. Very solid rebounder. Good at getting to the rim but has room for improvement. Full of potential, can potentially be a premiere scorer at any level. He is in the purest sense a scorer, and just has a knack for putting the ball through the hoop.

He needs to work on his ball-handling, as well as get stronger. Not a great passer, but doesn't need to be with his scoring ability. He is not bad at getting to the rim, but could improve.
