Expert Analysis
Ryan Morgan | Prep Hoops Scout
Strengths: Rebounding, Interior Finishing, Strong Hands
Breakdown: Aitken is a big body that anchors down low in the post but can also surprise you with a little athleticism in the open court. Right now, he spends most of his time around the basket, cleaning up misses, capping defensive possessions, and protecting the rim against drives. He can score inside but relies mainly on his strength to do so.
Outlook: For Aitken, the biggest improvement he can make is working on low post footwork. He has the athleticism and skill to incorporate more post moves, as well as from the high post and short corner, to improve his scoring ability. He has the potential to be a double-double guy with his ability to hold his position inside and his work rate. Chipping in a couple blocks, and setting some hard screens, Aitken could be a solid big man at the next level who even has some potential to play on the pick and pop with some more work on his jumper.
