St. John’s walk-on guard who won’t light up stat sheets, but still left a winner’s footprint
In the 2002-03 season, Jon Scheiman’s value at St. John’s was less about box-score splash and more about being a durable, local walk-on who stuck around for four years, appeared in 27 games, and was part of a BIG EAST title and an NIT championship run[4][5][8]. The fit here is obvious for any team that wants toughness, buy-in, and a high-IQ locker-room presence; the tradeoff is that his game profile never projected as a major scoring or creation threat[5][8].
