Cedar Falls, Iowa - UNI guard AJ Green has withdrawn his name from the 2020 NBA draft and will return to UNI for the 2020-21 season. Green, the 2020 MVC Larry Bird Player of the Year, averaged 19.7 points per game while leading the Panthers to a 25-6 record and an MVC regular season title.
"Thrilled to have AJ back!" said head coach Ben Jacobson. "The draft process was really good to him, he asked a lot of questions and gathered feedback from a number of teams/NBA personnel. He's hungry to keep getting better. I am excited for him, his continued development, and our program!"
