Ashton Pankey - PF - Maryland Transfer - Bronx, NY

He may have the injury history but I didn't really see any effects last year. He has some pretty good bounce and is quick off the floor.

Who's our second scoring option anyway? I like pan key but only If we get chandler too. We need somebody to throw it down too in the half court.

Garrett and Pointer. Im high on both these guys next season

I'm very confident Garrett wil be #2 until Wood is ready.  Wood and Harrison are alpha scorers...Garrett is a shade below that in my book.  Pointer just doesn't have the ability to create at this point in his career. 

I think it says a lot that a kid like Pankey, coming of a 20 mpg freshman year at an ACC school, might not be good enough to play at St. John's. 

Frankly, I think people are projecting Sampson as our number two scoring option, behind D-Lo, but that it will be a very balanced attack.

He'll get his points on putbacks, in transition, some open jumpers, and facing up slower bigs, but I don't think he's the kind of kid you can hand the ball to regularly and say "do something with it." I see it in tiers: 

Tier One: Harrison and Wood
Tier Two: Branch, Greene, Sampson, Bourgault
Tier Three:  Pointer, Sanchez, Balamou
Tier Four:  GG
*Garrett between Tiers One and Two

I thought Sanchez was a good scorer?

Pankey has very bad shin splints

Okay, thanks.

If the staff is still recruiting, 1 must be available. Maybe a player wasnt asked back, I have an idea who that may be

Heard last night it that is going to be a street fight between Iona & Manhattan for Pankey..

Dave - great decription of Pankey's game. I heard last night that his leg issues will keep most big schools away.

I like it - Masiello and Cluess mano a mano...Go get 'em Steve!

He can put the ball in the basket when he has to, but he was only the fourth or fifth leading scorer for Monroe most games, averaging less than ten points.  Monroe played a pretty fast game and had several chuckers...that type of game lends itself to many open court layups/dunks and a ton of putbacks off missed three's.  His defensive versatility is made for this zone and he's very athletic in the open court.  I'm not sure he'll contribute much in the half court offensively.

Wow St Johns boosters should really stop contacting Pankey on Twitter.

Wow is right.  Can't believe I saw that.

Who is that dumb?

isn't that the dude that was good friends with Jarvis?

I loved Pankeys response.  The staff better put that guy on a leash. 

LOL

is that good ol Maven?

What happened?

Why do you say he is a St. John's booster?  Didn't he work for Big East Network or one of the Sports Networks?

And an STJ alum.  And any alum is considered a booster by NCAA standards.
