A player transitioning their game can always be interesting to watch in how they handle and present their game, as well as getting a chance to see them in a different light. AJ Hamrick, a 6’8 prospect from Westminster Catawba, is one of those prospects that is looking to transition their game to another position.
Playing as a stretch four, Hamrick is looking to show that he can play the wing position. With his ability to stretch the floor and shoot the ball at all three levels, as well as his 7’0 wingspan, Hamrick brings a lot of factors that will have programs interested.
When speaking to his coaches at Westminster Catawba, Hamrick is looking to continue to work on his game, developing his upper body and strength, as well as making plays off the dribble.
But coming off a season in which he averaged nearly 10 points and six rebounds per game, Hamrick has been catching a few eyes with his continuing development such as Eastern Kentucky, Presbyterian, Winthrop, and Lincoln Memorial.
The 6’8 wing is hoping to get back on the court soon to show his continuing to development and should be a target by several programs.
Coaches Thoughts:
“AJ is a high academic, long 6’8” wing with the ability to score anywhere on the court. Blessed with great athleticism, AJ can get to the rim with ease but also shoots the ball very well with unlimited range. AJ also loves the game and is always the first guy to arrive before practice to get extra work in and the last one to leave the gym after practice. A great teammate, AJ has also developed into a very effective shot-blocker and rim protector.”
