NCAA Basketball: Jesse Edwards, TJ Bamba among top 30 transfer pickups of the week
21. Zach Austin – High Point to Pittsburgh
2022-23 season stats: 14.1 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.1 bpg
The 6’7 wing led High Point in both blocks and three-pointers this past season and had a trio of 20+ point games, including 26 against Radford. Austin is one of the better two-way players from the transfer portal and adds the needed size at the three-spot for a Pittsburgh squad that ran mainly three-guard lineups last year.
20. AJ Storr – St. John’s to Wisconsin
2022-23 season stats: 8.8 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 0.8 apg
The former top-50 prospect averaged 21 mpg as a freshman for the Red Storm, which went through a coaching change. Storr had eight games with at least 15 points, including 23 on the road at Creighton. He joins a Wisconsin roster that lacked scoring this past season but the underclassman guard will be a nice boost in the rotation next to Connor Essigian and Chucky Hepburn.
19. Teafale Lenard – Middle Tennessee to Memphis
2022-23 season stats: 8.3 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 1.7 apg
The 6’7 forward was a sophomore starter at Middle Tennessee and was named to the All-Conference USA defensive team. Lenard had 20 points, eight rebounds, and six blocks in a win against Belmont and a couple of other good offensive games. He joins a Memphis roster that lost all of its wings and could have an impact next season as a key defender.
