NCAA Basketball: Ryan Nembhard, El Ellis among top 50 transfer pickups of the week
47. Adam Miller – LSU to Arizona State
2022-23 season stats: 11.5 ppg and 1.7 apg
After missing the entire previous year with an injury, Miller came back to be a double-digit scorer for the Tigers, though it wasn’t very efficient. He shot just 34% from the field and 32% from deep on over seven attempts a game. Miller did at least have two games of 26 points (Arkansas State and Wofford) and travels over to an Arizona State squad that had lost almost its entire backcourt this offseason. As a two-time transfer, he’ll need a waiver to be eligible to play next season.
46. Cole Bajema – Washington to Utah
2022-23 season stats: 8.8 ppg and 4.2 rpg
The 6’7 wing produced career-high offensive numbers in his 4th year in NCAA Basketball, including shooting 39% from the field and 36% from three-point range. Bajema had a career-high 16 points on four different occasions, including on the road at Arizona and in the season-finale against Colorado. He stays in the Pac-12 for his final season, playing for a Utah program needing to replace the lost shooting of guard Lazar Stefanovic.
45. Zane Meeks – San Francisco to Arizona State
2022-23 season stats: 10.9 ppg and 5.1 rpg
Meeks started 15 games in the frontcourt for the Dons, producing career-high numbers. The 6’9 stretch forward had seven games of at least 15 points, including 20 points and 10 rebounds against Fresno State and 17 points and 17 rebounds against UNLCV. Meeks adds size in the Sun Devils frontcourt and gives them a true power forward that can play next to Warren Washington inside.
