wow. Knew there was NBA interest, but not this much. Question for those who follow NBA and drafts more than I do. Is the next NBA draft considered to be strong or week as far as guards are concerned? Timing is just as important as skill at times as far as getting drafted certain years. With a really big year is there any chance AJ would enter the draft after his JR season?

How did 12 NBA scouts get to see him? Do they have access to practices or scrimmages?

How did 12 NBA scouts get to see him? Do they have access to practices or scrimmages? They used to be banned from practices up until 2011. Now they are able to attend practices but can not have any direct contact with the player or have access to the locker rooms. I believe scouts and executives from NBA teams can attend regular practices but not any private training sessions. The former restrictions were actually put in place by the NBA... not the NCAA.

Thanks, 86. I must have missed a memo.

An Iona player makes the NBA once every 9 or 10 years. I assume that that is the definition of Great?

Hopefully the team as a whole has a great season. With these 12 NBA teams looking at AJ they might just find someone else as well. Good Luck to AJ and the 2014-15 Gaels let's get a win or 2 in the tournament in March! In TC and Staff I Trust!

Congratulations to AJ English on getting recognition as National Player of the Week- Mid-Major Conferences by College Sports Madness www.collegesportsmadness.com/mens-basketball/weekly-awards . AJ really has stepped up when needed this season. Love the killer instinct he is showing. Hopefully others will follow his lead as more teams look to shut him down.

AJ and David Laury are on the Lou Henson Mid-Major Player of the Year watch list www.louhensonaward.com/ . Once again players from the Iona program are getting recognition from coaches if not from the local media.

May want to change the title of the thread. AJ is already a great one. Sed Casimir may be the next great one.
