Expert Analysis
Michael Herrick | Prep Hoops Scout
Brackins dealt with an injury and missed some time. When AJ was hooping, he was a blur on the floor. Brackins is extremely scrappy and crazy quick. He got after it on the defensive end and set up others on the offensive end. AJ created steals/TO’s and was awesome in transition. He is under 6’0″, but elevates/jumps extremely well. Brackins will be a playmaker for the Packers this winter.

Brackins is a player to watch this weekend because of the nonstop energy and pressure. He plays with a ton of juice, quick feet, and the ability to make things happen in bursts. Brackins is aggressive attacking the hoop and thrives as a slasher, using his speed and explosiveness to put constant pressure on defenders. In transition, AJ is especially dangerous with how fast he gets up the floor and attacks before defenses can get set. Defensively, he’s pesky, disruptive, and simply annoying to deal with, making opponents uncomfortable with his activity and effort. His combination of speed, toughness, and energy gives him the ability to impact games on both ends and makes him a fun player to watch at Stomping Grounds.
