NCAA Basketball: 25 underrated transfer pickups for 2022-23 season

Julius Marble – Texas A&M Aggies

2021-22 stats (at Michigan State): 6.4 ppg and 3.3 rpg

The 6’7 forward has mostly been a bench player for the Spartans but did finally make the rotation last season. Marble is an imposing physical player that’s good defensively and while he’s not much of a scorer, can give Texas A&M more frontcourt depth. He also fits their scheme and style of play and next to Henry Coleman, should be a factor on the roster and a solid body in SEC play.

Kerwin Walton – Texas Tech Red Raiders

2021-22 stats (at North Carolina): 3.4 ppg and 1.2 rpg

The 6’5 wing was a 40% shooter in the past two seasons at North Carolina but the emergence of Leaky Black as an elite defender pushed him out of the rotation. Walton goes to Texas Tech, which loves “3 and D” players. The former Tar Heel definitely has the “3” part and isn’t a bad defender but will have to improve in order to fit Texas Tech’s system. Walton is looking for a bigger role on a contending team and this could be a nice fit for both sides.

Elijah Harkless – UNLV Rebels

2021-22 stats (at Oklahoma): 10.0 ppg and 4.1 rpg

Harkless has been an effective player in all four years of NCAA Basketball and heads back out west to a UNLV program that has a bunch of new pieces once again. Of the group, Harkless has the best chance to break out. He’s a quality defender and capable scorer who should look good in the Mountain West this season.
