After the rough introduction to college coaching that was Chris Mullin’s first season at the helm of St. John’s men’s basketball, there is only room to improve. And despite big names in Shamorie Ponds, Bashir Ahmed and Marcus LoVett joining, possibly the most intriguing player to watch is entering his sophomore year is the talented wing Malik Ellison.
Malik Ellison had a down and up freshman year, struggling to shoot (and reluctant to take shots) early on in the season, but with more of an offensive touch after returning from injury. Not only did his shooting improve, but his late season surge showed us a totally different player.
