IMO it’s very likely he will be our best player and one of the top players in the country next year.
1st team all B12 and played at an all American level the last half of the season + big dance.
Dude is a great player with high efficiency and has even learned how to score effectively off the bounce with super physical drives and finishes in the paint. He is a bad dude on the court and should be absolutely top priority this offseason.
If AJ is somehow better next year than Saunders and Saunders is at least as good as he is now then this team will be a major force with championship aspirations assuming they can get the right surrounding pieces.
Richie IS one of the best players in the country right now.
