NBA Comparison: Brad Davis

Aran Smith – 9/7/2007

Strengths: Throw back type of scrappy point guard who plays with a ton of heart His point guard and leadership abilities are strong Good decision maker who can put points up quickly from the perimeter Very focused. Smart player who has a solid feel for the game Always plays under control. Team player who rarely makes bad decisions … Clutch player, wants the ball in his hands at the end of close games Gets the most of his abilities and hustles at all times Protects the ball well and finds teammates with solid vision of the floor A gym rat. Hard worker who has shown steady improvement each year in college

Weaknesses: Its questionable whether Low has the physical attributes to make it in the league Hes more athletic than he appears, capable of dunking since high school but rarely shows that ability in games Regardless, his athletic ability and especially his foot speed are below average for the NBA level He has trouble getting by quick opponents into the lane His lack of size is also a detriment at 6-1 without much length or quickness Struggles defensively to keep up with the quickest guards hes played more at the scoring guard position for Washington State as teammate Kyle Weaver is asked to play more at the lead guard position His production is limited some by the defensive and half court oriented Washington State attack

Notes: His style of game is reminiscent and its apparent he patterns his game after Phoenix Suns star Steve Nash
