Impact Sellers, as expected, has served as the primary St. John's point guard through two games, collecting eight assists compared to five turnovers -- four of which came in Saturday's loss. He and the Red Storm only have one game on the schedule next week, a Saturday showdown against William & Mary.

Zuby Ejiofor - 27-point double-double in loss Ejiofor produced 27 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Alabama.
Impact Ejiofor was an all-out force in the eventual loss to the Crimson Tide, contributing for the Red Storm on all facets of the court. The senior big man missed just three shots from the field, and he tacked on 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the year. He was also a problem for Alabama on the defensive front, totaling two steals and blocks. While the seven-point loss was a tough way for the Johnnies to finish out their second game of the year, Ejiofer's performance previewed a dominance that should continue to be showcased this entire season.

Ian Jackson - Heads to bench Jackson is coming off the bench to begin Saturday's game against Alabama.
Impact Jackson started the opener against Quinnipiac and did well with the opportunity, scoring 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and grabbing a rebound in 15 minutes. The sharpshooting sophomore will head to the bench Saturday in favor of Joson Sanon, though the two should still see a relatively even split in minutes.

Joson Sanon - Enters starting five Sanon is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Alabama.
Impact Sanon will garner the start after beginning the season coming off the bench. He was productive in his role, scoring 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 19 minutes. Ian Jackson will head to the bench in favor of Sanon.

Dylan Darling - Ruled out Saturday Darling (calf) is out for Saturday's game versus Alabama, Zach Braziller of the New York Post reports.
Impact Darling was considered doubtful in the lead-up to Saturday's contest, so that fact that he's since been ruled out is not surprising. It's a tough blow for the Red Storm as it's the team's first true test of the campaign. Darling's next chance to suit up is next Saturday versus William & Mary.

Dylan Darling - Unlikely to go Darling (calf) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Alabama, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Darling will seemingly be unable to go after suffering a calf injury in the season opening win over Quinnipiac on Monday. The severity of the injury remains unclear; however, Darling will have a week to heal up before hosting William & Mary on Nov. 15. Casper Pohto could see a bigger role off the bench in Darling's absence.

Dylan Darling - Questionable for Saturday Darling (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Alabama, according to Adam Zagoria of The New York Times.
Impact Both the beginning of Darling's 2025-26 season and his latest game were logged Monday. He recorded six assists, four rebounds and three steals against Quinnipiac. Considering that Alabama is a quality opponent and the high-marquee event at Madison Square Garden, Darling will look to recover quickly, with a shot at a better team role potentially on the line.

Bryce Hopkins - Solid in St. John's debut Hopkins amassed eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 108-74 win over Quinnipiac.
Impact Hopkins made his first regular season appearance for the Red Storm Monday, and it went fairly well. He was not overly involved in the offense during the blowout win, but he still managed eight points (on five field goal attempts) and five assists to go along with three turnovers. It was not a world-beating performance by any means, but it was a promising debut of the elite frontcourt of Hopkins and Zuby Ejiofor.
NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Dillon Mitchell - Excellent in season opener Mitchell finished with 18 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 108-74 victory over Quinnipiac.
Impact With so much talk in the offseason about the front court duo of Bryce Hopkins and Zuby Ejiofor, Mitchell was an overlooked aspect of the Red Storm's starting five. That was not the case in Monday's opener as he led the team in scoring (18), rebounding (seven) and steals (four). It was an excellent start to his St. John's career after productive stints at Texas and Cincinnati, and with opposing coaches set to be focused on Hopkins and Ejiofor, Mitchell could be in for a very productive season.
