New York guard Jose Alvarado is declining his $4.5 million player option and intends to sign a new three-year, $14-plus million deal to return to the Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Knicks made it a priority to retain the NY native who played key role on a historic championship team.

Congratulations to Zuby Ejiofor, Dillon Mitchell, and Bryce Hopkins.

From St. John’s University to the NBA! #sjubb

The NBA Draft went to a two-round format in 1989. Since that happened, St. John’s has never had three players get selected — until tonight. Bryce Hopkins (Nuggets) joins Dillon Mitchell (Celtics) and Zuby Ejiofor (Hawks).

The Rick Pitino Effect in Queens knows no limits.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Elite athleticism. Fantastic defense. Can glide in the lane. Fits the Celtics values so much.

Really like Boston’s selection of Dillon Mitchell. The second man from St. John’s to go in the draft, joining Zuby Ejiofor.

[Zach Braziller @NYPost_Brazille]

Dillon Mitchell is off the board to the Celtics at No. 40. St. John's has two draft picks for the first time since 2000. #sjubb

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

The New York Knicks (via HOU) have selected Alba Berlin's Jack Kayil with the 39th pick of the 2026 NBA Draft.

Fresh off a German Bundesliga title and Best Young Player Award, the talented 20-year-old combo guard bypassed an opportunity at Gonzaga to kickstart his NBA career.

ZUBY 🔥

[Dave @SJUDave]

Surrounded by family and friends at home…here’s the moment Zuby Ejiofor heard his name called in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks!

What an incredible night. #sjubb @ATLHawks #truetoatlanta

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Zuby. Ejiofor. An amazing story of relentless work and drive. Tremendous rebounding talent, has evolved his offense quite a bit, more than capable defensive weapon and now an Atlanta Hawk.

[Rick Pitino @RealPitino]

Zuby is a great offensive rebounder, avg defensive rebounder. Going to be an excellent shooter in the NBA (excellent form), improved passer and shot blocker. All about winning. All about team. What a privilege to watch him grow. Had the best vertical we measured in our 3 years. Kill it Zuby!

[anthony chiu @acfilmroom]

Zuby Ejiofor could be one of the steals of this year's NBA Draft.

The 6'8", 245-pound forward with a 7'2" wingspan averaged 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks on 53.6% shooting from the field in his senior season at St. John's. He possesses one of the most decorated resumes in this class: Big East Player of the Year, Big East DPOY, 2x All-Big East.

Ejiofor is an absolute competitor who offers immediate toughness and physicality, with the defensive tools and strong frame to make an impact at the next level.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Restricted free agent Mohamed Diawara intends to sign a multiyear, $10-plus million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Diawara -- the No. 51 pick in last year's NBA draft -- was part of the champion Knicks after spending the season on a standard contract.

[Jon Chepkevich @JonChep]

NEWS: Bella Vista’s Gildas Giménez has committed to St. John’s, sources tell DraftExpress.

The Burkinabè-Spanish wing boasts a strong youth résumé with Real Madrid and Spain, securing gold at the FIBA U16 and U18 EuroBasket.

Defensive-minded with outstanding physical tools.

[Eli Berkovits @BookOfEli_NFL]

Just watched every Jordan Love throw of 40+ air yards...

Here are my top 10 in no particular order.

[Jordan Pettway @shakehoops]

St. John’s wing Ian Jackson getting GAME REPS the off season! Huge year for Cap.

Love how he’s playing off two and reading the defense! Excited for what’s to come next year.

Reebok Basketball has announced its next player partner signing, Tounde Yessoufou

Yessoufou joins a long list of high profile athletes to join the company #sjubb

[Rick Pitino @RealPitino]

The Knicks should teach every team from high school to college how important work ethic and chemistry are! Besides having the best player in the NBA this year, they had an attitude of never relenting, and never giving up. Amazing run. Champions we can all look up to!
