When the highly touted nine-man St. John's recruiting class finally convenes in New York this fall, forward Sir'Dominic Pointer will have some bragging rights over one of his fellow freshmen.
Pointer beat his man off the dribble and went up for a dunk in an iS8/Nike Spring Classic game in New York on Sunday when forward Jakarr Sampson slid over toward the rim and attempted to block the shot. Unfortunately for Sampson, his help defense came a second or two too late, leaving him the helpless victim of a highlight-worthy dunk.
"I was in the wrong place in the wrong time, you know?" Sampson told Five Star Basketball after the game with a sheepish grin. "I just had to jump because it would have been ugly either way."
To be fair to Sampson, he's hardly the first opponent Pointer has put in a poster during his high school career. Pointer, Rivals.com's No.44 player in the Class of 2011, starred at Quality Education Academy and received offers from Michigan and West Virginia besides St. John's.
Pointer was matter-of-fact in his assessment of his dunk over Sampson.
"I just beat my defender and Jakarr stepped up late," Pointer said. "He didn't jump as high as me so I just dunked on him."
