What was long assumed regarding AJ Green’s NBA Draft status is now official.
The Northern Iowa sharpshooter is coming back to Cedar Falls.
Green has removed his name from the NBA Draft ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline, UNI announced Wednesday. The reigning Missouri Valley Conference player of the year returns for his junior season, one that again has a lot of Panther hype.
With the coronavirus pandemic wiping out many of Green’s pre-draft opportunities — coupled with his fringe draft status — it was more a formality than surprising news that Green is coming back.
