Don’t worry, Joson Sanon will not go anywhere.
Sanon, 19, officially declared for the NBA Draft of 2025 on Saturday, but plans to stay with St. John’s for the next season, according to the Post Zach Brazillier.
The Massachusetts native plans to go through the draft process to receive some comments from the NBA explorers before playing their first year season with the Johnnies.
The NBA perspectives can enter the draft and at the same time maintain the election, but they have to do it without the agent representing them.
Sanon was the first major acquisition of Rick Pitin of the transfer portal in March, landing in the guard a few days after the defeat of the St. John season in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
“It was a decision too difficult to make,” he told The Post in March during a telephone interview. “What stands out is hard work. [Pitino] It really pushes you to get hard. I want to show that he is the player who has ever trained the most. “
“I feel it is a great place for me,” he added later. “They [need shooting help] And I feel that I am a good shooter and a good scorer in general. “
The old Top 25 prospect originally registered in the state of Arizona in July 2024, averaging 11.9 points while fired 42 percent of its first -year campaign for Sun Devils.
He thought that it was originally successful, St. John’s recruited Sanon out of high school, inviting him to an unofficial visit in March 2024.
Sanon believes that Pitino will also help him unlock his maximum potential.
“Only the opportunity to play for him made a lot of sense,” said Sanon. “He simply said that I am not to the bulls, he will push me through some of the things that I do not do very well. He will push me to work hard. He said he believes in me, my potential and what I could do.”
