DJ Armstrong Jr. Shines at G League Combine

DJ Armstrong Jr., a UMBC grad student, has been selected for the 2026 AWS NBA G League Combine, a prestigious event in Chicago from May 8-10. Armstrong, a smooth guard with a knack for three-pointers, earned second-team America East honors and all-academic team recognition in the 2025-2026 season. He capped off his season as tournament MVP, scoring 33 points with a record 7 threes in the title game. Armstrongs selection puts UMBC on the map for producing NBA talent. He averaged 13.3 points per game, leading the league with 2.7 threes per game at a 41.9% clip. Top performers at the combine could receive invites to the AWS NBA Draft Combine later that week. Keep an eye on Armstrong, as he has the potential to light up Chicago and climb draft boards. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
