"Sanon was praised by Pitino all season as being the most gifted player on the roster with the highest ceiling. He averaged 7.9 points in 20.9 minutes."
"After scoring 15 points in St. John's Big East Tournament semifinal win over Seton Hall on March 13, Sanon was asked about what he envisioned for himself with another season playing for Pitino and replied, 'I feel like I [could] go in the first round [of the 2027 NBA Draft].'"
Joson Sanon, a sophomore wing for St. John's, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, marking a significant change for the program. He is the fifth player to leave the team after a successful season. Freshman guard Kelvin Odih also entered the portal, bringing the total to six departures. Coach Rick Pitino is left with only five players on the roster. Sanon was previously viewed as a key player with potential for the NBA, having averaged 7.9 points per game last season.
