JJ Andrews Raw Scouting Notes 🗒️

Team: Arkansas
Draft Age: 19.3
Position: Power Wing
Listed Height & Weight: 6’6” 235

SHOOTING
•Lefty
•Nice fighting stance base
•Ever so slight chicken wing
•Palmy overhead catapult release with hitch
•Prone to snakebiting release
•Some really ugly misses: airballs, hard bricks
•Low volume shooter on 3PT
•Sub 60% FT shooter in 40 youth events per Cerebro

SELF-CREATION
•Very left hand dominant
•Can be sped up when stringing together combos
•Lacks wiggle/drives are more straight line
•Power driver downhill who will dip his shoulder and move the defender
•Sometimes drives and buries himself without a plan as he’ll drive into traffic without anticipating where the help comes from
•Has a spin move to counter when tightly guarded but doesn’t have a deep bag
•Takes some midrange shots that he isn’t capable of making consistently: particularly likes a one legged jumper from 15 feet
•Will utilize a pump fake and attack downhill in a straight line

OFF-BALL CREATION
•Smart cutter who gets off his feet quickly at the rim
•Plays the nail vs a 2-3 zone: good at receiving the ball and attacking the hoop 
•Quick attack after receiving ball from the slot
•Didn't hesitate taking and making three around 10 mins vs Bahamas
•Spot-up shot prep needs to be more consistent

PLAYMAKING
•Mostly connective passer
•Would like to see him leverage his downhill drives for more kickouts

FINISHING
•Can play above the rim when he has a runway
•Very left hand dominant
•Prone to creating contact and falling away from the rim when cut off on right side drives
•Gets to a hop step and to off two
•Mediocre lay-up touch

TRANSITION
•Fills lane with intention to get to the rim

ON-BALL DEFENSE
•Gets right into his defenders shirt
•Gets low though hands fall to sides
•Active feet 
•Beats ball handlers to the spot
•Does a good job flipping his hips
•Fights hard over screens
•Versatility to go from defending Tyran Stokes to checking Jason Crowe

OFF-BALL DEFENSE
•Pretty good positionally
•Can get a little too focused on his own man and lose sight of the ball in broken play scenarios
•Covers ground quickly: can sink to the paint as the low man and close out on a corner shooter without flying by
•Does a good job guarding two in drop
•Gets vertical as the low man and is strong enough to absorb the midait contact

MISC.
•Looked small matched up with Tyran Stokes: both frame and height
•Strong motor
•Willing to dive on floor for a loose ball
•Very good athlete but not elite vertical leaper

GAMES WATCHED:
•Brad Beal Elite vs Oakland Soldiers EBYL 7/17/25
•Arkansas vs Bahamas
•Little Rock Christian vs Farmington

Any national media using the tagline “it’s only been 2/3 games” when citing the Arkansas crowd today is exploiting the fanbase for views based on 15 years of misery.

No context. Disingenuous.

[JC Hoops @JacksonCollier]

A few things:

1) Arkansas needs a new AD
2) Arkansas will get a new AD
3) Silverfield deserves to get through this season
4) The fanbase is doing its job to drive the change it wants
5) Thank goodness for Cal and DVH

[razorbackHobbs1🐗⚾️ @razorbackHobbs]

The fact that Ole Miss and Mississippi State have better football programs than us really pisses me off. 🐗🏈

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Leave me a message, Arkansas fans.

@ericjlancaster @WarMachine2013 Exactly .

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@WarMachine2013 @ericjlancaster Exactly ! I believe we are the ONE and only program in entire nation that isn’t allowed to be good. When pelphrey was fired Billy d says “I’m not sure who they think they are”. Every time .

[WarMachine2013 @WarMachine2013]

The national media can kindly shut their mouths and mind their own business.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

The Razorbacks have the makeup of a team that can get to the Final Four! Jeremiah Wilkinson was a great pickup, Billy Richmond III will continue to grow and excited to see Jordan Smith under Cal. Yes, Arkansas hoops is in a great place!

[JC Hoops @JacksonCollier]

The Head Hog!

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@wrightsbarbecue Being down 21-3 being a flex is a testament of how bad we are. We still cannot score.

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@WxZachary @HunterYurachek the blood is on your hands .

[John Nabors @JohnNaborsShow]

But sure Hog fans, let’s make sure you believe that everything is fine, Arkansas is going the right direction, & you are actually the problem to why this program can’t succeed.

Sadness man. Just breaks my heart to no end.

Hunter Yurachek watching Georgia score their 7th touchdown of the first half tomorrow

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@CarterthePower We ain’t scoring tomorrow. This offense is the worst I’ve seen here.

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@wholehogsports Well no shit. Should’ve happened three freaking years ago.

[Devin talley @DTNasty34]

@OtisKirk23 Exactly !!! We are so behind in football due to just that !
