PHILADELPHIA – The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) has announced its Division 1 All-District teams for the 2019-20 men's basketball season, and history was made as University of Pennsylvania senior forward AJ Brodeur received first-team honors in District 13. In doing so, Brodeur becomes the first player in program history to receive first-team NABC All-District honors three times. The NABC has been naming All-District teams since at least 1951-52.
 
The NABC honor adds to Brodeur's list of postseason awards. He became the 17th player in program history named Ivy League Player of the Year—sharing the honor with Yale's Paul Atkinson—and was a unanimous selection for first-team All-Ivy for the third straight year, making him the first three-time first-teamer since Zack Rosen (2010-12) and just the 11th in program history. Brodeur also was a first-team All-District pick by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), Penn's first such honoree since 2011-12, and was a second-team Mid-Major All-America selection by The Athletic.
 
Quite simply, Brodeur constructed one of the greatest careers in Penn men's basketball history. He graduates as the program's all-time leader in points, blocked shots, field goals, games started and games played, and he is third in career rebounds and sixth in career assists. Among Ivy players in conference play this season, Brodeur finished first in rebounds and assists per game, second in blocked shots per game and assist/turnover ratio, third in points per game, seventh in field-goal percentage, eighth in free-throw percentage, and 14th in steals per game.
 
Brodeur led Penn in scoring in 14 games this season (nine of them in Ivy play) and in rebounding 20 times. He had 24 double-figure scoring games this season and 96 for his career, and his 12 double-doubles this season were the most by a Penn player in one season since Tony Price had 12 in 1977-78. On March 7, Brodeur celebrated his last game at The Palestra by breaking Ernie Beck's 67-year-old career points record and registering the first triple-double in program history with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Quakers' season-ending, 85-65 win over Columbia.
 
Penn finished the 2019-20 season with a 16-11 record and tied for fourth place in the Ivy League standings with an 8-6 mark, earning the fourth seed in the since-canceled Ivy League Tournament ahead of Brown.
