St John's Rafael Pinzon finally getting chance to show what he can do
As a St. John’s freshman, he dealt with a broken left ring finger and long COVID. This season was a sprained right ankle and another bout with the virus.
Finally healthy, Pinzon is getting a chance to show what he can do. He had logged extended minutes for three straight games and scored in double figures each time, providing offensive punch off the bench for St. John’s. In the Red Storm’s upset win over then-No. 6 Connecticut on Sunday, the 6-foot-6 guard from Long Island Lutheran scored 12 points and added three rebounds in a season-high 27 minutes.
Still, Pinzon never thought his days of playing the sport he loved were in danger. It was just going to require patience. There was nothing he could do to change the situation. But his belief in himself through it all didn’t waver. He had strong support within the program, which included former high school teammates Drissa Traore and Andre Curbelo. He just needed his run of bad luck to end.
