Yessoufou lands at St. John’s as Pitino targets a floor-spacing upgrade with Momcilovic in sights
TL;DR Summary
St. John’s is adding Baylor guard Tounde Yessoufou, who withdrew from the 2026 NBA draft and will transfer to Rick Pitino’s program, while also pursuing Iowa State guard Milan Momcilovic to bolster the backcourt. Yessoufou, projected as a potential first-round pick by some, comes off a 17.8 PPG season but shot just 29.3% from three, while Momcilovic, a 48.7% 3-point shooter and All-Big 12 Second Team honoree, could unlock space for Yessoufou and teammates as the Red Storm look to build on last season’s Sweet 16 run.
