Aaron Scott had his first taste of the New York crowd Saturday when he suited up at Carnesecca Arena.
Queens, New York, is a long way from Texas, but the Lone Star State native said after the Johnnies’ win over Towson that he has been “comfortable” with things since arriving in the Big Apple and working with his new teammates and coach.
“I’m locked in. I’m all comfortable,” Scott said. “Early on, it was difficult. Coming from Texas, New York and Texas are two totally different states. But I got out here in June. Me and the guys hung out off the court, on the court, and we got closer. It’s time now and we’re all locked in.”
Scott finished Saturday’s win with 11 points, along with five rebounds, a blocked shot and a steal.
He is sure to play a big role in helping St. John’s on the defensive side of the ball and impressed the Johnnies staff with his two-way ability.
The allure of New York City is part of the charm of playing for St. John’s, but for Scott, he isn’t getting too caught up in what the Big Apple has to offer.
