It didn’t take long for Jayden Quaintance to show why he was one of the transfer portal’s biggest prizes once he made himself available out of Arizona State — even coming off a torn ACL, meniscus and knee fracture, the former five-star recruit and future lottery pick confirmed coming off his debut vs. St. John’s.

The 6-10, 255-pound forward hadn’t played a game in ten months and came in off the bench against ranked competition in the CBS Sports Classic to rack up a quick 10 points on 5-7 shooting with eight rebounds and two blocks in 17 minutes.
