Dana Altman and high-rated incoming transfers go together like a Duck and water.
From St. John’s, LJ Figueroa joins a talented Oregon roster. At 6-foot-6, 200 pounds, the new Duck has experience playing guard and forward. He led his team with 14.5 points per game last season as a junior. He also led the Big East Conference in steals with 1.94 per game, putting him at 36th in the nation.
He’ll most likely need to sit out next season, unless the NCAA decides otherwise. He started 64 of 66 games during his two seasons at St. Johns.
