Welcome RJ Luis Jr!

[Goldstar88]

2025 NBA Draft scouting report: RJ Luis, G/F, St. John's - Yahoo:

RJ Luis Jr. is a 6'7" wing prospect with a strong, well-rounded game, known for his versatility and defensive intensity. He excels at attacking the basket, driving through contact, and finishing with either power or finesse. While his shooting needs improvement, his defensive prowess and rebounding ability make him an intriguing NBA prospect with potential as a 3-and-D player or a score-first sixth man.

The next Sam Hauser?

The next Sam Hauser?

He needs to work a lot on his shot for that to be the case.

The book on his offense is that he is a chucker, but his defense should play in the NBA.

Unless you just mean an undrafted guy who makes it.  Possibly, but I am glad he is on a two-year 2-way deal, because he needs multiple seasons in Maine I think.

He stiffed UMass out of NIL money

Yes, I mean it in the more general sense.  His profile is more like Hugo Gonzalez than Hauser at this point.  Maybe both Gonzalez and Luis make it and we can tag them Huey and Louie and work on finding a Dewey.

If he turns out to be like a Julian Champagnie, that would be decent.

What's really crazy is the "RJ" stands for "Reggie Jason." Technically, that makes him REGGIE LUIS!

Also, like Len Bias he's from Maryland. Spooky...

Like having another young player who might develop.  Cs are way behind other contenders when it comes to young talent.  Though this acquisition probably doesn?t move that needle.  Only a few years ago Cs had arguably the best under 25 talent in the league.  Now they?re a team with a shrinking window and little hope for a top draft pick - unless there?s a serious tank in 25-26.

Big East Player of the Year for 24-25.  Yeah, welcome aboard.  It said he needs to improve his shot making, but I find he shot .475% from 2PT and .336% from 3PT at St. Johns.  I mean, that's not horrible!  Jordan Walsh out of college was .510% 2PT and .278% 3PT.

I am a huge Uconn and St Johns fan! I loved Lou Carnesecca as a coach back in the day. I watch a lot of RJ's games, I really thought St Johns would go farther than they did in the tournament.  Anyway, I loved RJ and was waiting for his name to be called in the draft, I was really hoping we would pick him!  So I am super excited and really hope he does well.
He can score and is fun to watch.
