Mac McClung, Adam Miller among top 20 new available NCAA Basketball transfers
12. G Kyler Edwards – Texas Tech Red Raiders
2020-21 stats: 10.1 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.8 apg
As a starter, Edwards posted up similar numbers in the past couple of seasons, although his three-point percentage (42%) was nearly 10 points better than the year prior. The 6’4 guard is an all-around talent, capable of playing three positions and guarding four on the defensive end.
Edwards probably won’t be more than a 3rd or 4th option on a really good team but he makes winning plays on both ends and is an analytic dream for coaches. Look or there to be lots of interests for teams that can use a third guard in a lineup.
11. F Brady Manek – Oklahoma Sooners
2020-21 stats: 10.8 ppg and 5.0 rpg
As a four-year starter at Oklahoma, Manek never averaged fewer than 10 ppg and 5.0 rpg. He’s a 6’9 stretch forward with a career shooting percentage of 37%. The frontcourt player had a great start to this past season, averaging nearly 20 ppg a game before covid issues derailed his progress.
Manek isn’t going to be the biggest name in the portal but from a consistency standpoint, will be a major pickup for any power conference program. Knowing that he can stretch the floor and be a double-digit contributor can boose any offense. Now leaving the hometown Sooners, Manek could go anywhere outside of Big 12 country if he wanted to.
