Dwayne Aristode

As a College Recruit

Dwayne Aristode has a frame you notice immediately. Listed at 6-7, he has long arms and wide-set shoulders that project to adding good weight quickly as he progresses forward. Aristode, from the Netherlands, came to the US as a junior after playing club ball in Spain the past couple seasons. He came over with the reputation of a shooter. When his feet are set, he has good balance and a consistent release. He will need to continue working on movement-type shooting. He is also an explosive athlete. He can gather and ride quickly. Will attack a close out in straight lines and finish above the rim in traffic. He will need to work on his game off the bounce, developing his handle to get to spots on the floor. This also includes developing his middle and pull-up game. Will only help him as more of a threat. With his physical tools, explosive athleticism, and jump shot makings he is a 3 & D wing as a baseline. Still young, and new to the US, he has some things to work on. But the flashes are bright and he has been able to produce both in international FIBA play and on the EYBL Scholastic Circuit.
