Pros: Mark Aguirre might be coming into the league a little bit raw, but once he develops he looks like he could be quite the offensive weapon at the small forward position. Able to score from the inside or from behind the three point line, Aguirre looks one of the few (if not the only) players at the top of this draft who can get you points from anywhere.

Cons: Aguirre eventually might be a very good scorer from everywhere, but he will never be elite anywhere. He doesn't project to have Griffith's three point shot or Dantley's inside drive, which will dull some GM's opinions about him. A worse knock against Aguirre though is the fact that while he projects to be a decent perimeter defender, he really isn't going to be move than average or worse anywhere else. Since he won't be a decent rebounder or post defender, Aguirre's overall defense and usefulness at small forward is in question.

Overall: Mark Aguirre falls into an unfortunate place where he is going to be good at several things but great at nothing. That, added with being in a class with several specialists who are very good at certain hard to find things, will likely cause Aguirre to get lost in the shuffle a bit. Still, whoever gets Aguirre might very well find their starting small forward for the next eight to ten seasons.

Projection: #7-10

Pros: Mark Aguirre is a very good athlete, with quickness, strength and leaping ability that will all help him once he enters the ABCA. Although quite raw on the offensive end right now, he projects to be a very effective scorer from all areas on the court, from using his quickness and strength to finish inside and get to the free throw line, he also has a good jumpshot all the way to outside the 3-point line.

Cons: Outside of his athleticism, Aguirre comes into the league a little raw and may take a year to start producing what he is capable of. He isn't much of a rebounder and doesn't project to improve much in that area either, although a solid perimeter defender he struggles to defend in the post.

Overall: Aguirre is a little raw upon entering the league but he looks to be a very good scorer once he develops his game and although not a great defender he won't be a liability on the defensive end. He should be picked within the top 10.

Projection: 6-10
