Justin Pippen, a 6-foot-3 guard and the youngest son of Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, committed on Friday to play basketball at Michigan.
Sierra Canyon’s Justin Pippen drives past Harvard-Westlake’s Christian Horry on Feb. 13, 2024. Michigan basketball received its first high school commitment under new coach Dusty May, and it comes from the son of an NBA legend.
He is the youngest son of Scottie Pippen, a Hall of Famer who helped the Chicago Bulls win six championships during a 17-year NBA career that included stops in Portland and Houston. Justin is also the younger brother of Scotty Pippen Jr., a second-year guard with the Memphis Grizzlies. “I loved it,” Pippen said on the 247Sports’ YouTube channel of his visit. “The coaches were great to me. They showed me a lot of hospitality. They gave me really good pitches. They see me coming in as a player that can impact the floor right away. I’m excited to get to work.”
“They both told me to keep working, keep my head down, focus on the main thing and eventually it’ll all pay off,” said Pippen, who credited weightlifting and becoming more mature on the court for the leap in his game.
