A.J. Mosby (Albany Patroons, The Basketball League; Alcorn State, Cartersville HS) — Despite a rough showing from 3-point territory, Mosby flirted with double-doubles in each of Albany's two wins last week. In a 147-103 blowout May 5 of Connecticut, the 6-foot-3 guard posted 12 points, seven assists and six rebounds. He improved in each of those categories during a 100-92 triumph against Syracuse. That May 7 victory saw Mosby, who finished a combined 2-for-12 from deep across the two games, record 18 points, dish out nine assists and pull down eight boards.
