Loser: RJ Luis fails to flash​

After a career year at St. John's leading the Red Storm under Rick Pitino, Luis Jr. has failed to generate a ton of interest in the transfer portal and failed to flash in a big way at this week's Combine, too. He went a combined 11 of 29 shooting in the two scrimmages he played in and was a -41 in the two games. Luis Jr. is the No. 4 overall player in 247Sports' transfer portal rankings and would do well for himself to run it back in college one more season.
 
Be nice if Nets can get him with one of their four first round picks. What would be even better is if Knicks could somehow trade for a pick to get him.

Knicks could probably nab him at 50, but feel like Jamir Watkins is a better fit/better guess. Watkins' agent is Sam Rose (Leon's son), he's old/mature/knows his role (which the Knicks almost always draft), defense-first, and plays the wing.
 
Doubt Watkins is around at 50 but RJ will be. Might be worth a shot as Knicks could use a three off the bench.
 
If these other guys are truly going to stay in the draft, have to imagine there will be landing spots for RJ if he chooses to come back. Duke, now maybe Michigan, Miami, UNC, Texas Tech and who knows who else would be lurking for him.

RJ's HS coach going to Miami always raised my eyebrows. Wouldn't surprise me if he went there.
