Rothstein on SJU

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on SJU's depth "It gives us options 2 put our team in better position 2 win. Practices now come closer 2 simulating games."”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on SJU's frontline "Opponents will have to approach us differently bc of less open looks at point blank range."”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on style of play "With our depth, we'll be able to mix our defenses to keep opponents off balance." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on Phil Greene "He's a combo guard + is focused on improving his decision making off the bounce." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on D'Angelo Harrison "He'll get ample mins as a lead G 4 us. His goal this offseason was 2 develop his playmaking skills."”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on Orlando Sanchez "At 6-9, he has the ability to handle the ball like a guard. He enjoys the thrill of a good pass." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on Jamal Branch "He gives us something we didn't have last season and that's a pure point guard." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on Felix Balamou "He has a knack for elevating + finshing in traffic. We call those players bucket makers." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on Chris Obekpa "He's 1 of the more unique kid I've recruited bc of his ability 2 change the game w shot blocking prowess."”

“@JonRothstein: .@STJCoachLavin on JaKarr Sampson "He's special in every sense of the word. He's continued to improve his offensive skill set." #stjbb”

“@JonRothstein: St. John's has no real winning experience --- but the Red Storm are talented. Should be right in the middle of the Big East in 2013-14.”

“@JonRothstein: D'Angelo Harrison will be primed for a breakout season as a sophomore. Will play plenty of PG until Jamal Branch is eligible in December.”

“@JonRothstein: Don't be surprised to see a lot of Harrison, Greene, + Branch together in 3G sets. Lavin used it at UCLA. Likens it to 2005 Illinois team.”

“@JonRothstein: A real sleeper for St. John's could be Christian Jones. 6-7 forward is a hidden commodity. Really strong + skilled. Could be solid reserve.”

Well done paultzman. TY for sharing!

Often does article, reflective of above.

Great stuff Paultzman!  D'Lo working on his playmaking skills shows he recognizes how his ticket to the NBA will likely get punched.

If you call him Mark Bourgault, I'm gonna call you Ted Couley

Since coach called Felix B bucket maker can we nickname him buckets ala dwight buckets Hardy? Also hope we don't see too much of the 3g set of Harrison, Green and Branch only because we have so many talented front court players some of whom can also play back court.

Sounds like we might be seeing more man to man as expected with more bodies on board.

By right in the middle of the BE do you think Rothstein means in the middle of the pack or in the middle of the fight for top of the conference?

I think he means right in the middle of BE title in 13/14.  Makes sense based on Lavin's public statements.

Just my opinion but this year Top 7/8, next year Top 3-4.
