AJ Storr

AJ Storr is a multi-talented big wing who is strong, athletic, has good positional size, and a skill-set to match. He made an immediate impact as a freshman at St. John’s, averaging nearly 9 points per game while shooting 40% from the three-point line, and took on a much bigger role this year at Wisconsin, where he averaged nearly 17 points and 4 rebounds while shooting 32% from behind the arc.

The key for Storr is efficiency. Offensively, that comes down to decision-making and shot-selection. Although he was asked to shoulder a significant offensive load this year at Wisconsin, he both settled for and forced a variety of tough shots, while averaging under one assist per game. So, while he’s a more reliable three-point shooter than his numbers indicated this year, a lot of that has to do with finding looks with room and rhythm. Defensively, he has all the physical tools necessary to be both impactful and versatile, it’s just a matter of consistently applying himself on that end.

Where Storr can be most dynamic is when he’s in attack mode and hunting the rim. While Wisconsin played with a slower tempo, both his speed and leaping ability were evident whenever he was able to get out in the open floor. He puts a ton of pressure on the rim when he is put in catch-and-rip situations, and also showed enough handle, dexterity, and physicality to attack a set defense and play through contact.
