Oregon’s 6-5 scoring guard is a long-term swing worth watching
In the 2025 recruiting cycle, JJ Frakes arrived at Oregon as a three-star, 6-5 guard known for efficient three-level scoring, having averaged 24.4 points per game as a junior while shooting 45% from the field and 35.5% from three on 6.5 attempts per game. He was widely described as a versatile, athletic combo threat, but not an immediate impact player; one Oregon recruiting breakdown even framed him as a “flyer” whose injury history and limited exposure likely suppressed his ranking. Translation: if you want upside, shot-making, and a developmental guard, Frakes is intriguing.
