Continued consistent play Ejiofor contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 63-58 win over Georgetown.

Impact Ejiofor has been remarkably consistent for the Red Storm, as he has scored in double figures and logged seven or more rebounds in each of the team's last 10 contests, averaging 16.6 points and 9.3 boards over that span. After being on the fringes of the rotation a season ago, the former Kansas Jayhawk is one of the most improved players in the Big East, possibly the country, and represents a quality fantasy asset across all formats.

Impact Ejiofor popped out a season-best 28 points over the Wildcats, and he also logged his third double-double of the year.

Big 22 points in near win Ejiofor closed Thursday's 99-98 2OT loss to Baylor with 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-12 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and one steal in 42 minutes.

Impact Ejiofor popped off against the Bears, with his second straight double-double and a season-high performance in points and blocks. Although the Red Storm couldn't draw the win after double-overtime, the junior center showed why he should be one of the main contributors for the team. He'll look to keep this momentum going as St. John's look to bounce back against Georgia on Sunday.

Back in starting lineup Ejiofor will start Sunday against New Mexico.

Impact It'll be Ejiofor's third start at center this season after he came off the bench Wednesday against Wagner. The junior is averaging seven points and three rebounds across 23.3 minutes to open the campaign.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Relegated to bench Ejiofor will be relegated to the bench for St. John's third game of the season against Wagner.

Impact Ejiofor started both of the Johnnies' first two contests, and was somewhat underwhelming statistically, averaging 6.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks. With Wagner being a far inferior opponent, and plenty of other shakeups in St. John's starting five, this move screams head coach Rick Pitino is still tinkering with his rotations.

Draws start in opener Ejiofor Jack Pilgrim of Kentucky Sports Radio for the Red Storm in Monday's season opener against Fordham.

Impact Ejiofor is the incumbent center for St. John's following the departure of Joel Soriano, but he likely had to hold off USC transfer and former four star recruit Vincent Iwuchukwu to keep the job. This is an early sign Ejiofor's 11.2 mpg average from a season ago will be trending upwards, potentially giving him a spot on the fantasy radar.
