Thirty-five players transferred to ACC Basketball schools this offseason, with all 15 teams adding at least one transfer.
These have been the league’s 10 most prolific and impactful transfers through the first two months of the season.
10. Andrew Carr – Wake Forest
Coming into the season, there were questions about how Wake Forest’s frontcourt would recover from the loss of Jake LaRavia and Dallas Walton. While not projected to be a first-round pick like LaRavia, Andrew Carr has filled a similar stretch-forward role in Steve Forbes’ system.
Carr is one of the only “up transfers” in the country to maintain or increase his per-game production despite dramatically increasing the level of competition. Although Wake Forest hasn’t gotten into the heart of ACC play yet, Carr is averaging 10.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, both within 0.1 of his 2021-22 averages at Delaware.
9. Nelly Cummings – Pittsburgh
Pitt has started ACC play with two road wins over N.C. State and Syracuse, already matching its conference road win total from last season. The Panthers’ offense has jumped from No. 243 on KenPom last season to No. 53 as of December 27. Cummings has been one of the driving forces behind that improvement, hitting two 3s a game at a 36.1% clip.
Cummings is Pitt’s third-leading scorer and leading assist man, putting up 11.2 points and 4.8 assists a game. As the team’s starting point guard, his fingerprints have been all over Pitt’s dramatic offensive improvement and promising start to the season.
