Top grad Transfers
16. Eric Lockett Wing, NC State
2017-18 stats: 14.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3.1 apg, 29% 3pt at Florida International
Lockett’s recruitment flew way under the radar as there was no news on which teams he was even considering until he ultimately chose NC State. Lockett will fit perfectly in Keatts’ style of play as he can play anywhere from 2-4. He will probably be the team’s sixth man, but his versatility and talent level will make it hard to keep him on the bench. Do not be surprised if Lockett gets more than 20 mpg.
11. Trey Porter C, Nevada
2017-18 stats: 13.2 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.3 bpg, 59% fg at Old Dominion
Nevada grabbed multiple impact players this offseason and Porter might be the most overlooked of the bunch. The former Old Dominion big is a strong defender and a capable scorer from mid range and in. Even though 5-star freshman Jordan Brown has gotten most of the attention, I’d expect Porter to start over him, at least at the start of the season. Nevada’s depth could hurt Porter’s production and reduce his playing time, but he will definitely be a standout.
