Best big man we’ve had since….Figured I’d start a fun thread here!

Zuby is a decent backup center. But we need to majorly upgrade over him next year. There is no way he can be starting for us next year.

This has been an astounding improvement and I don't recall a player improving more here over a single season. Offensively, he can post now, put the ball on the floor, and his footwork on offense down low radically better. He is a relentless offensive rebounder, blocking shots, and running the floor in transition. He's also an improved on man defender. It's also clear that he is being instructed to be a force inside the paint, where he is doing a lot of damage and drawing fouls. He's also staying out of foul trouble.
Best of all, thete is still plenty of room to improve.

Zuby is the most improved player year to year that I’ve ever seen in the 25 years I’ve been watching St. John’s basketball.

David Cain-like transformation.

agree on his improvement and the coaching but it also has to be Zuby's personal effort he puts in as Rick says he is one of the hardest workers he has ever coached. His commitment to improvement should be an inspiration to others as it is paying off.

Bill Self’s loss

Dom was just playing badly out of position for a coach that had no ability to rein someone in. Zuby is actual progression.

I don't think Pointer improved all that much, but Lavin brilliantly played him at point senior year and had him push the ball up in a fast paced offense. Transition game suited Pointer perfectly. He won the Haggerty award as steas best player despite the fact that Harrison was one of 18 nominated for Wooden award. Great senior season though and late 2nd round pick.

My close 2nd favorite player on the team hands down.

you know Daniss Jenkins is gone right

Big test for Zuby Saturday. Although with Dixon shooting almost 50% from 3, maybe Aaron or RJ guards him. Any thoughts?

Think Scott starts off on Dixon cause Zuby will get Boyarke

Having guards like Khadary and Devon, and forward RJ attack the basket and draw crowds in process allows Zuby to pound the offensive boards. It's all related.
