After enduring two suspensions under NCAA investigation last season, Barkley decided two years was enough of the college game. He declared for the NBA draft soon after St. John's was bumped from the NCAA tournament last March. In those two years, Barkley led the Red Storm to a 53-17 record. He was inserted into the fray as a freshman and played admirably, and he elevated his game as a sophomore, leading St. John's in scoring average (16), assists (4.5) and steals (3). Barkley has great quickness, which, coupled with his shooting ability, enables him to score as well as create for teammates. He handles the ball well and had a solid assist-to-turnover ratio last season. Barkley knows how to defend. Some scouts think he could be the first point guard taken in the draft.
