AJ Green’s college and professional Career

AJ Green’s basketball journey caught speed in college at Northern Iowa University (UNI) in 2017. But even before college, he was a highly regarded four-star recruit from Cedar Falls High School in Iowa, ranked among the top-100 recruits nationally by the likes of ESPN and more. His decision was influenced in part by his father, Kyle Green, who serves as an assistant coach for the Panthers.

In his freshman year, he had an average of 15 points per game. This earned him the title of Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Freshman of the Year. He continued to impress in his sophomore season, averaging 19.7 points and 3.0 assists per game, and was honored as the MVC Player of the Year.

He first put his name in the NBA draft in 2020, but withdrew and decided to focus on his college career. Unfortunately, he underwent hip surgery in December 2020. He made a strong comeback in his senior year, averaging 18.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, and was again named MVC Player of the Year. Green scored a total of 1,769 points in his four-year college journey.

In 2022, he applied for the NBA Draft and signed with the Milwaukee Bucks as an undrafted free agent. In his first season in 2023-24, he appeared in 56 games, averaging 4.5 points and 1.1 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 42.3% from the field and 40.8% from three-point range. During his time with the Bucks, Green has also played for the Wisconsin Herd, which is the Bucks’ G League affiliate, as part of his development and to add playing experience.

AJ Green’s brand endorsements

As of October 2025, there is no publicly announced brand endorsement deal associated with AJ Green. This may be subject to change. While he has demonstrated significant potential on the court, even during their practice sessions, where he threw down a lob dunk. Something that he has never done before. And now he is leading the Bucks to victories. It is clear that his potential is still being unlocked and might soon land him some deals. However, the absence of endorsements may be related to his relatively late entry into the NBA and the evolving nature of his professional career.

As his career progresses, opportunities for brand partnerships and contract extensions may arise; the possibilities are endless.
