In a matter of a week, the final two holdovers from the Steve Lavin era have moved on from the St. John’s program.
Sophomore forward Amar Alibegovic has decided to transfer, while redshirt junior Christian Jones has opted to explore his options at the professional level and on the graduate transfer market.
Alibegovic, who was recruited as a stretch four, was unable to crack the Johnnies seven-man rotation consistently in year one. He played just 8.5 minutes per game, averaged 1.6 points per outing, shot an ugly 25 percent from downtown and struggled to adjust to the pace at the college level.
