The Utah transfer brings his scary athleticism to Queens.
Listed at 6-foot-flat, 247 Sports’ 12th-ranked transfer Deivon Smith is the shortest member of St. John’s Men’s Basketball 2024-25 roster. But if he gets out on the break with no one in front of him, you’ll be treated to a vicious between-the-legs tomahawk slam.
Smith’s bounce is only one aspect of the fifth-year senior’s freakish athleticism, making him a perfect fit for head coach Rick Pitino’s patented up-tempo offense. The hall-of-famer has traditionally run a very guard-reliant scheme, highlighted by his tenure at Louisville.
