St. John's star RJ Luis entering NBA draft, transfer portal

St. John's star RJ Luis Jr., the Big East Player of the Year, is declaring for the NBA draft and entering the transfer portal, his agent, Sam Permut of Roc Nation, told ESPN on Saturday.

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.

The 6-foot-7 small forward enjoyed one of the biggest breakout seasons in the country, averaging 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while making massive strides as a defender and shotmaker.
