RJ Luis

[logen]

Have to imagine RJ's playing himself onto some draft boards, especially if we have a deep run in March. Last 3 games he's averaging 24 and 7. Shooting 54% from the floor, and 47% from 3. While I selfishly would like him back next year, it would be amazing if he can play his way to a first round selection.

Stats are generally not a determining draft factor, their use in determining potential is.

Said it before and will say it again but differently this time. Luis surgeon and rehab team deserve this years mvp (most valuable people).

His surgeon should be advertising himself or herself as the man or woman for shin splint surgery!!

I really liked RJ but would have never thought this would happen in year two. Amazing.

RJ and Rick are the first St. John’s player-coach duo to win Big East Player of the Year and Big East Coach of the Year in the same season since 1985 when Chris Mullin and Lou Carnesecca did so.

Edit per Ken, last was Berry & Looie

Actually since 1986 when Lou and Walter Berry swept the awards

I thought Looie and Berry did the same the following year in '85-'86.

Congrats to RJ! Super deserving! Part of the award goes to the surgeon! This is a year to cherish for us fans and the program.
