Personal Statement

Chris Arias |  Class of 2024 | 6’6”

NCAA  ID # 2002813797

Point Guard / Shooting Guard / Wing

For current developmental age, I have good body control, lengthy, and willing to work as a defender, play an exciting yet fundamental team style of basketball. I am a magnet for run outs, quickness allows me to generally be one of the first player down the floor after missed shots. Shooting the ball is not a problem, pull up jumpers, mid range jumpers and can also shoot the three ball.  Able to read and react to defense and make shots off screens or beat my defender off the dribble.

I have more than adequate ball-handling ability to attack the rim from the wings or top of the key. Ideal player to coach because of my unselfishness and know when to make the right kind of pass for assists. I can slash when crowded or stop and pop if the defender gives me space. I am most effective playing in an up-tempo system but can play half court and run sets, game IQ is above average.

I can play the 1 thru 3 as needed depending on team rotation and coaches request. Prefer guard / wing play and will continue to work hard and develop into an elite combo guard in the years to come.  Style of play depends on coaching preference.  With future growth and proper development, I will be tough to defend and someone opponents must account for.  Lastly, outside of basketball my downtime is spent with my family and friends.
