Today (Wednesday) is decision day for UNI star A.J. Green. The two time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year must withdraw from the NBA Draft if he intends to play in college next year. If he does the most likely destinations are Iowa State or Duke. Green had a workout with the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

After missing nearly the entire 20-21 season with two hip surgeries Green averaged nearly 19 points in leading UNI to the Valley regular season title.

Green says the process of exploring the draft has been beneficial.
