Dwayne Aristode talks Arizona

“They have great coaches, you know, a great staff,” Aristode said.” I like it there, it is in a warm place, so all is good with that. I really like the way they play, the way they are as a program. They have a lot of international players on the team, and being an international player that interests me because that is a big part.

“They have big facilities, and everything is in the same area, so where you stay, and classes, and the gym and everything are all within walking distance. That stood out for me.

“I have a good relationship with the staff. I talk with Coach Murphy a lot and to be around Coach (Tommy) Lloyd was good. He is a great dude. They have great coaches there, and I have a good relationship with them and we are still building that relationship up.”

Scouting Report

“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 of 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.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
