With the St. John's roster set to gain a solid influx of talent, sophomore forward Amar Alibegovic has decided to transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.
The Rome, Italy native was brought in before Steve Lavin's last year (2014) with the program, but played just 8.4 minutes off the bench while averaging 1.5 points per game during his freshman campaign. He struggled to adjust to the speed of the college game, was often out of position on both ends of the floor and shot a brutal 23 percent from downtown.
But when Chris Mullin took over before the start of the 2015-16 season, Alibegovic was one of three returnees, along with Christian Jones and Felix Balamou, and was able to drastically improve his production on a rebuilding team.
