AJ Green to remain in 2022 NBA Draft

CEDAR FALLS, IOWA --- UNI men's basketball junior guard AJ Green has announced he will forego his remaining year of collegiate eligibility and remain in the 2022 NBA Draft. The decision came ahead of the NCAA's June 1st evening deadline for early draft entrants to withdraw in order to retain eligibility.

"The past month has been a tremendous learning experience for me," Green said in a statement announcing his decision. "Most notably, it indicates that my hard work is paying off, and I will continue to trust this moving forward. I believe at this time it is best for me to remain in the NBA Draft and begin my journey of playing professional basketball.
