The son of the famous NBA player showed some very promising signs last season.
It was that kind of season, a forgettable one for the Johnnies. Case in point, perhaps: St. John's Malik Ellison may have gotten less publicity last season than the OTHER basketball-playing Malik Ellison, an undersized guard from near Flint, MI, who earned a SportsCenter Top Ten play appearance and a state championship.
Back in New York, for a long segment of the season, no player took more heat on St. John's than Malik Ellison... (well, maybe Durand Johnson, but we will touch on him later).
