AJ is showing signs of
being a next level scoring guard and if he can keep that momentum while
maintaining his lead guard prowess we are talking about a top 15 player
nationally. The beauty in this is that
AJ has ideal size for either position and can operate; previously as a ball
handler, now as a scorer – anywhere on the floor and be dangerous, these are
the most sought after attributes from the combo guard position. His unselfish nature will always allow him to
play with any type of player and his passing skills will never allow the
defense to focus solely on his scoring.
What we haven’t talked about and we are seeing continued improvement is
in his jumper shot and range; we are noticing a consistent percentage and stop
and pop ability, as a value added skill set to his overall profile he is
quickly becoming a “in the gym” threat and a positional threat to the ranking boards in the coming months. He past his last test at the USBA Nationals as
he led his USA National Select group to an Elite 8 finish, getting the job done
in multiple ways, showing an extremely high IQ in working in the pick &
roll game.
His final test will occur in
DC at the end of August when he will face the best his class has to offer; I am
sure they and the country will be surprised with the advancement of his game;
P2 predicts that Hoggard will be one the national surprises when the new
ranking boards are released in September.
