There shouldn’t be an issue with the lack of size or rim protection next season for the St. John’s basketball team.

Over the course of Big East play last season there became an overwhelming issue with St. John’s and that was trying to contain opposing team’s big men.

Clearly it didn’t help that the league was at its best and most physical in the paint since its realignment with players such as Romaro Gill, Tyrique Jones, Omer Yurtseven, and Nate Watson.
