Welcome to St. John's, Oziyah Sellers!

[Marillac2]

Smooth player. Him and Sanon shooting will be a different world. Let’s get him working on defense right away. He’s really fast down court in transition too.

Don’t think this kid has been getting the respect he deserves.

Welcome Oziyah! Different player than Scott but the same type of experienced piece who you can add next to a few dynamite players and have a seamless fit. Necessary to being the level of team we are expecting to be now.

Studs!!!!

“Going into my senior year, I wanted to play in the biggest market possible and just hearing Pitino’s plans for me going into the season, it kind of felt like a no-brainer,” Sellers said. “Obviously I’ve been on the west coast my whole life, so making that move was a big move for me, but it was something I trusted and was fully confident with.

This is exactly why we got Aaron Scott too. We are going to be an attractive destination for seniors who played in smaller markets for years to come. It is an amazing feeling.

Sellers and sim very similar players

Sellers is a much better shooter right now. Also lacks no confidence on court if you watched ACC basketball (Stanford basketball) this year.

So I don't see "very similar players" at least not right now

Don’t see similar players personally. But they will both be competiting for a lot of the same time.

Westchester is 1/2 with Sellers committing, now if Jackson commits tomorrow then it looks like he has legit info.
Maybe he's known on here already, if he is then my bad.

Sim shot over 40% from three his first season, and 29% last year. Idk if that's a result of a larger sample size, but if Sim goes up, we'll have much better shooting for sure than last year.

What may be lost too is that Sim's FT shooting increased dramatically in year 2.

Underrated part of Oziyah’s game.. Carter 87.5% free throw shooter.

Are we happy, or what?

The chess master is doing it again! Welcome, Mr. Sellers! We are so glad to have you here! Now, let's get a National Championship!

Part of Sim's shooting drop came from his improved effort on defense. Giving that much effort and attention to D caused some tired legs on offense for a number of our players last season.

Funny enough I saw Sellers as more of a pivot from Silas. I don't think Sellers has the PG capability per se, but I also thought of Silas much better suited as a 2 or 3. Can definitely imagine "reports from sources" saying Sellers is the most impressive in the summer (similar to what we were getting about Scott). This is the type of team and role where his defense should be taken up a notch.

Huge! Was 89.7% last season.

Sellers and sim very similar players.

No offense, but this is a lazy take.

 

[Show me the NIL]

Great pickup. To be honest, I don't care if Jackson signs or not. We now need Mitchell (or someone Mitchell-like) a Point Guard like DJ Wagner or similar and we are a top 10 team who can dream of a final four. As it stands now, without Mitchell and a PG we are fringe top 25. Of course, the building is not complete and can change in a moment. I am still concerned a bit because the store is closing soon!

Hopefully he can stay in the corner more than Scott. He’s money there and can also attack a bad close out.
