It’s two new players in as many days for the Johnnies.
Monday night, it was coveted Syracuse transfer Donnie Freeman. On Tuesday, 7-foot Serbian Lazar Stojkovic committed to Rick Pitino and Co.
The 18-year-old European big man is the third international addition for St. John’s, following British point guard Quinn Ellis and Montenegrin wing Djordije Jovanovic. He was on campus on Monday and was given a tour of the Garden on Tuesday.
Stojkovic has been playing for Crvena Zvezda in the Serbian KLS. He was leading the league in block percentage. He has a very high ceiling, a big man with guard skills who can space the floor.
