Richmond’s Senior Scoring Leader and Reliability Anchor
AJ Lopez, a 6'5" senior guard and graduate student for the Richmond Spiders, led the team in scoring during the 2025-26 season with 13.4 points per game on 46.8% shooting, while starting all 32 games—a testament to his durability and intensity [1][2]. His differentiators include elite consistency (one of only three Spiders to start every game), strong free-throw shooting (86.2%), and a proven ability to elevate against top conference foes, having previously earned Second Team All-America East honors at Maine with 14.8 PPG [2][3]. Though his assist numbers (1.3 per game) suggest a more scoring-focused role, Lopez brings a gritty, Queens-born mentality and high-stakes experience that makes him an ideal fit for teams needing a reliable, battle-tested scorer who won’t miss games due to injury [2][5].
