AJ Clayton is a talented basketball player, who currently plays for the Ohio Bobcats. Out of the 33 games played in the 2022-23 season, AJ started for 16 games and during those games, he averaged 7.8 points per game. AJ shot 43% from the field, 32.4% from downtown, and shot at a 90% clip from the free throw line.
His box score and averages, however, do not tell the whole story. AJ is an impactful player on the offensive part of the floor and defensively, he can shut the opposing players down by swatting the ball from them, time and time again.
AJ Clayton’s Height
AJ Clayton stands Six Feet and Eight Inches tall (6'8). He plays at the small forward spot and can defend, shoot, and playmake. AJ Clayton can develop into a 2-way small forward (one who can play elite defense and elite offense for example- Kawhi Leonard and Paul George). He has the height and the athletic ability to make that possible. Adding more muscle mass may certainly help his game in the future.
In a game against Delaware on December 21st, 2022, AJ went off. He scored a career-high 23 points on 6-11 shooting and was 9-9 from the free throw line. He also grabbed 11 boards twice during the season, and recorded 3 blocks in a game twice, during the season.
If anything, AJ does have what it takes to make it to the next level (NBA) but certainly has areas in which he can improve. Only the future will tell us if AJ makes it to the NBA or not.
