Bryce Hopkins' anticipated impact at St. John's is overshadowed by concerns regarding his health and ability to perform after multiple injuries. Analysts John Fanta and Rob Dauster highlighted these uncertainties on a recent episode of Field of 68, debating the extent of his potential contributions. Fanta raised doubts about Hopkins' readiness for high-level competition after significant time off, while Dauster noted that a peak-condition Hopkins could elevate St. John's performance considerably. The Red Storm, under Rick Pitino, aims for national contention, making Hopkins' health essential for their aspirations in the upcoming season.
"We don't know what version of Hopkins we're going to see. We really do not. The guy hasn't played coordinated basketball at a high level in two years."
"Like, if he's the guy that he was when he got hurt, which was Big East Player of the Year caliber, then yes - St. John's is going to be very, very good."
