A fantastic scouting report on LaMarcus Aldridge.
DraftExpress goes in depth, analyzing a bunch of young power forwards. DX echoes a lot of the statements Ben made in his Synergy-based LMA post, namely that he is better off the dribble than spotting up and a very efficient post scorer.

Some good observations
Yeah he often tries to establish himself at the left side in mid-range, then dribbles, and depending on if he can push back his man go for the jumper over his right shoulder or drive by his side for the hook or dunk. That’s practically his two go-to moves. If he can add more, all the better. Also interesting points on his defense, though I wonder why he didn’t explicitly mention his perimeter defense which is very good for a guy close to 7 foot and instead talked about him being somewhat laterally slow.
