What's Happening?
Rick Pitino, coach of St. John's Red Storm, has identified senior Oziyah Sellers as the team's best shooter and is encouraging him to take more three-point shots. Sellers, who previously played at Stanford and USC, has impressive shooting statistics but
has been hesitant to take shots in the Red Storm's first two games this season. Pitino believes Sellers' shooting ability is crucial for the team's success and wants him to capitalize on open opportunities. Point guard Dylan Darling is set to return for the upcoming game against William & Mary after recovering from a calf strain.
Why It's Important?
Sellers' shooting skills are vital for St. John's offensive strategy, and Pitino's encouragement is aimed at maximizing his potential to benefit the team. With Sellers' ability to make three-point shots, the Red Storm can enhance their scoring capabilities and improve their overall performance. Darling's return also strengthens the team's lineup, providing additional support in assists and steals. Pitino's focus on Sellers highlights the importance of individual player contributions to the team's success.
What's Next?
St. John's will face William & Mary at Carnesecca Arena, where Sellers will have the opportunity to showcase his shooting skills. Pitino's emphasis on Sellers taking more shots is expected to influence the team's offensive strategy in the upcoming game. The team's performance against William & Mary will be a key indicator of their readiness for future matches and their ability to implement Pitino's guidance effectively.
