Jamorko Pickett (6’8”, 230 lbs.) – A Maryland native, Pickett was a four-star recruit coming out of High School who chose Georgetown over offers from the likes of Virginia, Ohio State and Marquette.

He followed that up with a sophomore season in which he averaged 15.7 points per game and led the Hoyas in scoring.
