Scott’s stepson is St. Joseph’s sophomore guard Xzayvier Brown, who entered the portal earlier Monday and is immediately considered one of the top prospects available for transfer.
The 6-foot-2 Brown led the Hawks in scoring this past season at 17.6 points per game. He also averaged 5.2 rebounds (second on the team) and 4.3 assists (first) while shooting 42 percent from the floor (176-of-419), 35 percent from 3-point range (63-of-180) and a program record 89.7 percent from the free throw line (148-of-165).
Justin Scott is more than just some coach to Xzayvier Brown. He’s his step dad. So that’s a very smart move to hire an experienced coach that helps bring one of the best guards in the portal in.
