Now Penn’s all-time leader in field goals made, as noted on the broadcast tonight, passing the legendary Ernie Beck.

Amazing!
Any thoughts at how his skills will translate at the next level?

Just an all-time all-timer. He does everything anyone asks. He worked his butt off at improving the two biggest criticisms he always received in free throws and using his left (mostly) and is an Ironman to boot. Replacing AJ will not only be impossible, it will be felt for years. Senior night should be emotional and I only hope people turn out to show their appreciation. Are we all in agreement that he’s the best big to ever play at Penn? That he was able to finally lead us back to the tournament and capture a Big 5 title will be remembered forever.

Nice for Penn to bring back Lefko for a nice hand yesterday. He may well be 2nd best big man---and looked like he still could play

If one defines ‘best big’ as having the most complete game and being most valuable - I have to agree.

He fills the stat sheet like no other Penn player I've ever seen, center or otherwise.
For the second straight year, he will lead the team in scoring, rebounding, assists and blocks. Also in the Top 3 for steals as well.

Many of his assists seem to come at crucial moments as well. So many times when we need a big basket to stop a run or extend a lead in the meat of the game it is AJ who finds a cutter and hits him with a precision pass for a big two.
