Syracuse Basketball: 7 transfers Orange should consider adding for 2020-21
Eli Wright, Western Kentucky
The 6-5 long and athletic shooting guard has not played since 2017-18. He averaged 3.0 points and 2.2 rebounds over 13.3 minutes a game in 34 appearances for Mississippi State that year. Wright also has made stops at Western Kentucky and St. John’s.
Bryce Aiken, Harvard
The 6-0 guard is a pure scorer who can light up a scoreboard when he is rolling. Aiken can score on all three levels although turnovers are an issue. He poured in over 30 points against Holy Cross and Maryland this past campaign before having his season end after seven games as a result of a sprained foot. Aiken averaged 16.7 points along with nearly two triples a game on 41.2% from the field and 36.1% from beyond the arc. Turnovers are a problem, however. The Randolph (NJ) native is eligible immediately as a grad transfer.
Devin Gage, DePaul
Gage appeared in 12 games before suffering a season-ending hand injury. A year after totaling 9.9 points and 3.9 assists a contest, the 6-2 point guard compiled 4.4 points a contest. However, he did produce a career-high 1.31 points per shot and an effective shooting percentage of 54% in 2019-20.
Blake Harris, NC State
A former four-star recruit, according to 247Sports Composite, Harris is on the move for the second time in three years. The 6-3 guard left NC State before the season due to personal reasons. He averaged 3.1 points and 1.5 assists over less than 10 minutes a game in 2018-19.
