With BBE on the Nike EYBL circuit, JJ turned heads as one of the most efficient scorers in Session One, averaging 19.7 points per game on very efficient shooting. His physicality and feel for the game have made him one of the top guards in the country and should help him make an immediate impact for the Razorbacks.
