Though we already heard the news, it’s now official that Scottie Pippen’s son, former Michigan and Cal guard Justin, is now a member of the Ohio State basketball team. If you wonder what the Buckeyes are getting with his arrival — seeing how he did much of his work on the West Coast out of sight — it might be important to catch some of his highlights from last season at Cal.
Before that, though, the numbers say that he’s developed into a very good player since he played his freshman season up in Ann Arbor at that school. Last year, Pippen averaged 14.2 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in 30.8 minutes per contest for the Golden Bears. That’s the type of production that should be able to plug into the Ohio State rotation very, very well.
But to get a better look at Pippen and what he can do, we give you some of his highlights from last season, thanks to what the Ohio State Hoops X account shared earlier this week.
Pippen may not have the size that his dad does, but he’s a guard who can handle the ball and score going to the rim, and he should develop into a better player next season.
