Summary
Zuby Ejiofor just became an NBA player, drafted 23rd by the Atlanta Hawks — St. John’s first first-round pick in 14 years. The Red Storm standout led his team in scoring, rebounding, steals, and blocks — the only high-major player nationally to do so — rising from barely playing as a freshman to a dominant force. Draft night was emotional, surrounded by family, and though he didn’t work out in person, the Hawks saw his potential. He joins a young Hawks squad, not staying local with the Knicks. This marks the 18th player under Pitino to go pro, and fans hope Dillon Mitchell follows suit — potentially making St. John’s the first program since 2000 to have multiple draft picks in one year.
