2017 St. John's Basketball Grade

C minus. OOC losses were horrendous.

I'm giving them a C. Made strides in Wins however had some really bad losses. For a team with quick dimunitive guards, their D was awful much of the time. The rebounding was bad. The coaching left a lot to be desired.

Next year is huge for this staff and team.

On a team that got pounded many times, no one should get an A. I think you're grading them more on their improvement then on their performance. In general I'll downgrade them 1/2 to  1 level back from you.

I would give LoVett and Ponds each an A. Ahmed had a great first season coming from juco ball. I'd give him a B+.
We desperately need him to have a Justin Brownlee type of senior season. Just a great senior leader. I'd give Williams a B- minus because I thought in his role, a big man off the bench he was key in winning certain BE games. Especially Butler.
Can't see the sense in failing a freshman who barely played. Remember how he played against the D3 team. Kid isn't a lost cause. He's just young. This should have been expected. Let's see what Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond can do with him.

D for the whOle team for not making the C tournament
