Zuby Ejiofor is too modest and humble to put praise on himself or talk about how good of a player he is, but it’s no secret how important he is to the success of the St. John’s basketball team.
Ejiofor’s rise to stardom has been quick, bursting upon the scene a season ago and he’s never looked back. The most impressive aspect of the Big East Preseason Player of the Year is how he always shows up in the big games and that must continue this week at the Players Era Festival.
The 6-foot-9 center went for 27 points and 10 rebounds in the Red Storm’s loss against Alabama, a game in which he shot 9-of-12 from the floor and 2-of-3 from 3-point range.
