J.R. Bremer Emerging as a Point Guard Sleeper
By Chris Monter
Date: May 20, 2002

NBA scouts and basketball fans know all about point 
guards Jay Williams of Duke, Frank Williams from Illinois 
and Gonzaga's Dan Dickau is a known quantity as the 
Bulldogs have been a Cinderella story the past two years. 
However, there are still several sleepers at the point 
guard spot. J.R. Bremer of St. Bonaventure finished 
fourth in NCAA Division I and led the Atlantic 10 in 
scoring at 24.6 points per game. He was named seventh 
team College Basketball News' All-American.  

Bremer missed the Portsmouth Invitational, due to a 
hernia, but he has been working hard on his game in his 
hometown of Euclid, Ohio preparing for the pre-draft camp 
in Chicago and individual workouts with NBA teams. He was 
a 35 inch vertical and can bench press 350 pounds, making 
him the strongest point guard in this draft. Bremer is an 
excellent defender. 

Bremer, whose first name is Ernest, has the date 4-5-97 
tattooed on his left bicep. That was the day, his father, 
Ernest Sr., was shot and killed, a victim of a 
carjacking. The tragedy happened just two weeks after 
Bremer led Cleveland Heights to a Ohio state title as a 
junior. 

He scored 20 points or more in 24 of the Bonnies' 30 
games, leading St. Bonaventure to a 17-13 record and a 
National Invitation Tournament berth, where they lost ot 
Syracuse in the first round, despite 29 points from 
Bremer. Bremer's 738 points this year is the fourth best 
single season total in school history and he finished his 
career ninth in all-time scoring with 1,732 points. He 
had seven games of 30 or more points, including 35 points 
against Rhode Island and 33 points in an 18-point win at 
Connecticut. 

The 6-2, 185 pound Bremer set school records with 88 
three-point field goals and 188 free throws. He is the 
school record holder in career three-pointers with 223 
and ranks in the top 10 in both assists (334) and steals 
(185). Bremer averaged 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.9 
steals per game. 

Bremer was named first team All-NABC District 1 and was 
chosen to the Basketball Times All-East squad. He was 
named Atlantic 10 First Team All-Conference and finished 
runner-up to Xavier's David West for Atlantic 10 Player 
of the Year. Bremer won the Chris Daniels Award for the 
Atlantic-10's Most Improved Player.
