High School
A 6-foot-1 combo guard from Houston, Pipkin was rated a 3-star recruit by 247Sports and the 10th-rated player in the state of Texas (No. 148 overall) ... Pipkin closed his prep career playing for former Shocker P.J. Couisnard at the Legacy School of Sport Sciences in the Houston area ... Is a tough-minded lead guard and is an elite disruptor on defense ... has a strong build to guard with physicality and take contact initiated through penetration to the chest ... Offensively, he is a threat as a three-level scorer, great at negotiating ball screens to make the right basketball play ... With his length, budding skill, and instincts as a decision maker, Pipkin’s game oozes with two-way upside.
