RJ Luis Jr., St. John's standout and Big East Player of the Year, is declaring for the NBA draft while entering the transfer portal. Ranking No. 72 in ESPN's draft projections, Luis has had a breakout season, averaging 18.2 points and earning significant accolades, including Big East Tournament MVP. Despite a strong finish to the season, Luis experienced challenges in the NCAA tournament, particularly in a second-round loss where his performance dipped. After transferring from UMass, he made a notable impact at St. John's under coach Rick Pitino.
"Luis is ranked No. 72 in ESPN's NBA draft rankings, but would be the best available player in the portal if he decides to remain in college."
"After scoring 22 points and making five 3-pointers in the first round of the NCAA tournament against Omaha, Luis struggled in the Red Storm's second-round loss to Arkansas."
