Pippen immediately has an uphill battle at the NBA level if he’s going to play the point with those characteristics. However, his quickness, defensive activity and ability to draw bushels of fouls (13.7 free throw attempts per 100 possessions last year!) are all plus indicators. The Elite Camp showed that his style should translate pretty well to the more open floor of an NBA game. All those are reasons to suspect Pippen could hear his name called in the second round on draft night, but to cement that he needs to show more growth as a distributor and decision-maker.
