NCAA Basketball: Top 10 teams that should target transfer Benjamin Stanley

Benjamin Stanley is the latest entrant to the NCAA Basketball transfer portal this offseason. Which teams should make a run at the high scorer?

This offseason, there have been hundreds of NCAA Basketball players that have decided to enter the transfer portal, in hopes of playing either close to home or a better situation overall. But none of them have scored as much as Benjamin Stanley, who became a breakout star of last season.

After scoring just 4.4 ppg as a freshman off the bench, Stanley exploded as a sophomore, going for 22.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg and 1.5 bpg in 35 mpg. He, along with now all-time Hampton leading scorer Jermaine Marrow (24.8 ppg), was the highest-scoring duo in all of NCAA Basketball.

Stanley, a 6’6 combo forward out of Baltimore, Maryland, reached 20+ points in 20 of 25 games last season. That included multiple 30+ point efforts, along with a career-high 40 points against Howard on 15/19 shooting from the field. He doesn’t shoot much from the outside, only making 15 total three-pointers (out of 45 attempts) overall. Stanley thrives on slashing to the paint and in transition while having enough size to play at the undersized power forward spot.

But with Marrow gone and the Hampton Pirates not looking like a Big South contender for next season, it looks as if Stanley is going to be somewhere else. Immediately, multiple power conference programs have reached out for the sit-out transfer (barring a waiver), who has two years of eligibility left.

So which programs should make a run at Stanley? Here is a list, including some already publically announced, of 10 teams that should be in the picture for the recruitment of the latest transfer.
