Early life and high school career

Pippen was born in Portland, Oregon, while his father was playing for the Portland Trail Blazers.[1] From his father's previous relationships, he has four older half siblings: Antron, Sierra, Taylor, and Tyler. Antron and Tyler Pippen are both deceased. His father's relationship with his mother led to three future younger full siblings: Preston, Justin, and Sophia. Pippen is Assyrian on his mother's side.

From kindergarten to tenth grade, Scotty attended Pine Crest School in Florida where he gave his first post game interview as a sophomore. Then before his junior year, his family moved to the LA area and he transferred to Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California which had a more competitive basketball team. At Sierra, he played alongside future NBA players such as Marvin Bagley III, Kenyon Martin Jr., and Cassius Stanley.[2] As a senior, he averaged 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game and helped his team win the California Interscholastic Federation Open Division state title.[3] Pippen competed for the Oakland Soldiers on the Amateur Athletic Union circuit.[4] He committed to a future playing college basketball for Vanderbilt over offers from Washington State, San Francisco, Colorado State, UC Santa Barbara, and Hofstra.[5][6]

College career

On November 20, 2019, Pippen scored a freshman season-high 21 points in a 90–72 win over Austin Peay.[7] In his regular season finale on March 7, 2020, he scored 21 points for a second time in an 83–74 victory over South Carolina.[8] As a freshman, Pippen averaged 12 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, earning Southeastern Conference (SEC) All-Freshman Team honors.[9]

The impending departures of future NBA players Aaron Nesmith and Saben Lee led to a future expectation of a leading role on the team, which came to fruition in his sophomore season.[10] On December 27, 2020, Pippen scored 30 points in an 87–50 win over Alcorn State.[11] On January 9, 2021, he recorded his first double-double, with 18 points and 12 assists in an 84–81 loss to Mississippi State.[12] On January 27, 2021, Pippen scored 32 points in a 78–71 loss to Florida.[13] As a sophomore, he averaged 20.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. On April 10, 2021, Pippen declared for the 2021 NBA draft while maintaining his future college eligibility.[14] He later withdrew from the draft returning to Vanderbilt for his junior season. On December 7, 2021, Pippen made a last second three-pointer to tie the game against Temple. As a junior, he averaged 20.4 points, 4.5 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game. He was named to the First Team All-SEC as a junior.[15] On April 18, 2022, Pippen declared for the 2022 NBA draft, forgoing his remaining future college eligibility.[16]

Professional career

After going unselected in the 2022 NBA draft, Pippen signed a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on July 1, 2022, splitting time with their G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers.[17] Pippen joined the Lakers' 2022 NBA Summer League roster.[18] In his Summer League debut, Pippen scored fourteen points, six rebounds, three assists, and a block in a 100–66 win over the Miami Heat.[19]
