Strengths

Right handed....Aminu offers great size and excellent length with a 7'4" wingspan… Very versatile and agile… Solid mid-range game- good shooter off of the dribble and can create his own shots… Good ball-handling… Improving passer with above-average court vision… Motivated and a hard worker… Good quickness with a long first step… Explosive leaping abilities… Runs the court well in transition- takes off after rebounds… Uses his length well to block and alter shots… Very good rebounder… Will benefit from another year in college

Weaknesses

Perimeter game and jump shot could use some work… What position does he play? He should improve his post-up game… Questionable basketball IQ… Needs to add strength to his frame… Difficulty finishing in traffic… Needs to show he can be consistent on both ends of the court.
