DJ Armstrong Jr., son of NBA legend Darrell Armstrong, is making waves in the NBA draft circuit after a standout pre-draft workout with the Indiana Pacers. Rising through junior college and Division II hoops — including key stints at Odessa, Texas Permian Basin, and UMBC — DJ earned the “3-J” moniker for his deadly three-point shooting and leadership. At UMBC, he averaged over 13 points per game while adding rebounds and assists. Though his Pacers shooting didn’t meet expectations, his defense, communication, and positive energy stood out. His father, Darrell, beams with pride as DJ navigates workouts with multiple teams — including Dallas, Charlotte, Orlando, Milwaukee, and Phoenix — despite a setback with Orlando’s summer league due to a physical issue. DJ remains laser-focused, embracing his father’s advice to “just be myself” and chase his NBA dream, ready to take the next step — whether through the G League or beyond.
