Swing Skills: Playmaking
Mohammad Amini, an Iranian wing, is a super competitive and aggressive scorer with good positional size to play high level college ball. Known for his strong, mature frame, he is physically dominant for his age group. Despite his scoring mentality, Amini remains unselfish and moves the ball to open teammates, showcasing respectable ball-handling skills and a love for creating his own offense off the bounce. He utilizes crossovers and advanced ball handling to drive downhill, embracing contact on his drives and drawing fouls with his activity. Amini is always looking to attack downhill, excelling as a transition finisher in the open floor. He can make plays out of ball screens and posted a positive assist-to-turnover ratio at the 2023 U18 Asian Championships, displaying good drive-and-kick vision. Amini shot 36% from three at the same tournament.
As a good wing rebounder, Amini averaged 13 points per game and 4.6 rebounds for the Iranian senior team at the 2023 World Cup, where he was the second youngest player and scored 19 points against Spain.
However, Amini has areas that need improvement. He struggles with outside shooting consistency and has a tendency to pound the ball. Lacking vertical pop around the rim, he also struggles with finishing in traffic against length and is inconsistent with foul shooting. Additionally, he faced challenges with decision-making at the 2023 World Cup. Despite these concerns, Amini’s aggressive scoring, physicality, and playmaking abilities make him a highly promising prospect for college coaches looking for a versatile and competitive wing.
