St. John’s star forward RJ Luis Jr. is declaring for the 2025 NBA Draft and entering the transfer portal, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.
Luis has one season of college eligibility remaining.
Named the Big East Player of the Year, Luis averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in 35 games (32 starts) this season.
Luis also earned Big East Tournament MVP honors. However, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, with St. John’s as the No. 2 seed in the West Region, he made just 3 of 17 shots from the floor and sat out the final 4:56 of the second half in a 75-66 setback to No. 10 Arkansas on March 22.
Luis, a Miami native, began his college career with one season at Massachusetts before transferring to St. John’s prior to the 2023-24 campaign.
