In Season Tidbits

No depth-Mark Jackson, Ron Rowan, Shelton Jones and Ron Stewart sounds like pretty good depth to me. Ron Steward ONLY shoots 45% from the field? LOL
 
He was money at the foul line. In fact the whole team was great at the foul line.
That was the best foul shooting team I have ever seen at SJU.

Good stuff Paultzman...did you find this as part of some ‘let’s clean out the basement while we’re stuck in the house’ effort?

“We’ll see just how good Posh Alexander is, but the progress of Rasheem Dunn was encouraging for St. John’s. If Figueroa is back, Red Storm could be a top 6 team in the Big East. Intriguing storyline. As @NYPost_Brazille has reported, LJ’s status is 50-50. Fluid situation. #SJUBB“

Better add a big!

Add a big. Had coronavirus not come around, I’d say LJ woulda been 98% gone, but things are different in this climate and will be for the next year. World climate and pro-ball money overseas is all uncertain. LJ back with the crew we have added and returning and we could be a Difficult team to contend with.

[quote="Paultzman" post=383632]Shelton Jones interview;

Two out of three from Long Island
Shelton, of course, was a star at Amityville
Chuck played at Brentwood Ross HS
I knew him well - a great kid and a very good student
I coached his 2 younger brothers - both of whom also played D-1 basketball
The shortest of the three brothers ended up being 6'10"
Their mom used to complain about feeding and clothing them
I told her that she wouldn't have to pay a dime for any of their college educations
The younger brothers played at Lafayette and Rutgers
 
I keep reading veiled references to this kid being the next one out the door. It almost seems like many of you are even hoping he leaves so we can have another open scholarship. Why would we not want a talented backup point guard for four more years. This is a good kid, with exceptional ball-handling skills. I believe he has the all-time assist record at his high school. I have no clue what MA thinks of him, but I am rooting for him to stay.

He might not want to be a backup for four years, though.

The injury killed him. He definitely would have gotten minutes on this past season's team. But with Posh here, minutes will be harder to come by.

I'm not advocating pushing him out, but from a roster standpoint, having two PGs in same class probably isn't the greatest thing.
 
Dunn averaged 29 minutes and Rutherford 23, both primarily played point but obviously there were plenty of times both were on the court. Willians also played some point. No Johnnie averaged 30 minutes. Anderson plays a lot of guys, plays multiple (to say the least) different combos of players. Sears was the only rotational player who played less than 15 minutes a game. (All minutes are rounded). IMO, there is plenty of room for both Alexander and McGriff. And it is really obvious, as others have pointed out, that Anderson holds little regard for who starts when deciding who finishes.
