A.J. Hoggard brings SEC-tested playmaking and veteran poise to Vanderbilt
A.J. Hoggard is a pass-first veteran guard whose best trait is creating offense for others: in 2024-25 at Vanderbilt, he averaged 9.6 points and 4.6 assists and led the team with 148 assists, ranking third in the SEC in assists per game.[3] He profiles as a steady floor general who can run an offense, get teammates easy looks, and survive physical games, but his scoring efficiency and perimeter shot consistency have been inconsistent, so he fits best on a team that values decision-making, pace control, and table-setting over pure shot creation.[3][5][11]
