With the addition of North Carolina transfer Ian Jackson on Monday, St. John’s has a potentially blockbuster starting five.

Here’s a look at the group:

F Zuby Ejiofor (14.7 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 1.4 BPG)

Lone returning starter will lead this team after emerging as one of the top two-way forwards in the country as a junior. Surrounded by considerably more shooting, teams won’t be able to

swarm Ejiofor in the paint nearly as much. Potential Big East Preseason Player of the Year.

G Ian Jackson (11.9 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 39.5 3-point percentage)

The gifted 6-foot-4 Bronx native and North Carolina transfer will have the ball in his hands from Day 1. The former McDonald’s All-American and top 10 high school prospect has the talent to

be St. John’s first first-round draft pick since Maurice Harkless (15th overall) in 2012.
