Alijah Arenas

Draft Notes

Alijah Arenas is the son of Gilbert Arenas and is built in the same mold as a high scoring guard with excellent quickness and scoring touch. Alijah has more height and length than his old man and is quickly becoming an elite level prospect.

Alijah has excellent size, length and physical tools and is an elite level scorer. He’s got a NBA frame and already has some NBA level abilities. He scores from 3 levels, has a good looking jumper and can really play above the rim.

He’s got a smooth mid range game, using change of pace and a variety of moves to shake free for his jumper.

He’s a likely one and done first rounder with lottery potential.

Was involved in a series car accident and put into a medically induced coma but came out of it with no major injuries and has made a full recovery.
