F/C • 6’11, 260 lbs; 17th year, Texas
HYBRID
NBA ROLE: VETERAN, INSIDE-OUT 4/5
A veteran, All-Star-level power forward, LaMarcus Aldridge is a living example of your classic, “gimme a bucket” big – high-release, midrange jumper is impossible to defend, has stretches where he’s unguardable in the mid-post; 1000 ways to score: Aldridge is strong w/ his back to the rim, facing up & after screening for a guard (loves quick turnarounds/giving his man a couple jab steps before launching); high IQ offensively, has moved the ball more effectively in recent years – but overall, LMA passes less than Stacy Patton* if he catches it in his spot (which isn’t a bad thing!); signed w/ Brooklyn in pursuit of first NBA title – another experienced, go-to option for Coach Steve Kerr to lean on
*Stacy Patton, portrayed by the late, great Malik Sealy in the 1996 cult classic ‘Eddie’, did not like giving up the ball
