Does anyone think these guys will ever get an NBA look again? Or has their time passed?

Not everyone is meant to make the NBA. These guys are enjoying success elsewhere. Their NBA time is long gone, not that it ever really was.

It's really good for D-Lo to get over to France. He's climbing the Euro ladder for some big pay days. Being repped by Octagon too is good look. I'm pretty sure that was a Lavin connection.

Career-high 49 vs Magnolia? What about a new career-high 50 vs Columbian?!

Justin Brownlee keeps on setting the bar even higher!

Just met with @MikeCraggSJU and his vision for the program and what he wants to accomplish is perfect for what @StJohnsBBall and all sports needs it is a perfect fit and I am excited to be part of the growth of this program and getting it back on track! #johnnieforlife

Deserving of his number being retired imo:

I'm not going to argue with your opinion, but no. Great player yes, number retired no, if they start retiring numbers for players who had pretty good careers they'll run out of numbers.

Utmost respect for DH but he played here five years ago, maybe he should have worried about getting things back on track back then. See also Morris, Robert. Do we need him now, especially since coach third choice has already righted the ship? Hashtag polly come lately

I can see a retirement of D-Lo's jersey be in the discussion especially as a nod to this generation of Johnnies plus he is our 3rd leading scorer in team history. No small feat. But I see Foad's point here- no All-American teams, some BE recognition, but I do not know if its greatness so to speak. Hard to come by in the last 20 years with this program although some really good players for sure.

With the RM game I still think they had no business playing that game. Such letdown season with high expectations should just end and reflect on the failure.

One NCAA appearance, one and done, kind of tough to put him in the same company as the other retired jerseys. At least the other modern history Johnnies had multiple NCAA appearances. D'Lo is third all time in scoring, but not much post season to show for it. I'm not in a rush to put his jersey up, yet.

Nice move by DJ.  They play in semifinals tomorrow at Noon on ESPN.
