NCAA Basketball: Top 25 impact transfer pickups from 2023 offseason
By John Makuch
No. 16 Arthur Kaluma (Kansas State)
After putting his name into the NBA Draft, Arthur Kaluma has made his transfer decision to one of the surprises of the NCAA Tournament in the Kansas State Wildcats.
Jerome Tang became one of the more well-known coaches after their deep run, and Kaluma’s transfer decision shows that players believe in the vision he has put forth in Manhattan. Kaluma had a career year with 11.8 points and six rebounds per game while also shooting reliably from outside the arc.
Kaluma is a very well-rounded player that teams are looking for on the wing, one that can drive, shoot, and shows decent passing ability all with some good defense on the other end. Now, he looks to play against some Big 12 competition as draft stock is necessary for him to build and winning may be in his future as well if the Wildcats continue the way they have been trending.
Kansas State will have Villanova and Providence on their schedule next season, so look for Kaluma’s return against some of his former Big East rivals.
