Although the Rebels fell 73-58 to Team United on Saturday, JJ's performance was a major topic of discussion. His smooth shooting and playmaking stood out to catch the attention of SLAM HS, which shared a highlight video of his performance on Instagram.

JJ is seen picking up passes from his teammates and finishing them with 3-pointers and 2-pointers and also making plays himself. The video also captured his dad on the sidelines, belting out instructions as the game went on.

JJ Crawford received D1 offers even before his freshman year

NBA star Jamal Crawford's son, JJ Crawford, is attracting D1 offers even as an eighth grader. He will kickstart his high school basketball career next season, but it appears that college programs like the Rutgers, Montana Grizzles and Missouri aren't waiting around until then.

In fact, JJ Crawford picked up his first college offer in October 2023, while he was in middle school. That was followed by Missouri and Rutgers the next year in July and October, respectively.

JJ has four years of high school basketball to play, so it's safe to conclude that he isn't thinking about college basketball yet. In fact, considering his level of talent, it's expected that more offers will come as the years roll by.
