19. Jaelin Llewellyn

A 6’2 guard from Ontario, Llewellyn began his college playing career in the Ivy League at Princeton. He became a key part of Mitch Henderson’s program back in 2018 and would stay on campus for three seasons, a stretch that included the season missed by the pandemic. He transferred to Michigan as a senior but missed most of that season, though that’s not really our focus today.

Llewellyn was a decent scorer who averaged 10.1 points a game already as a freshman before finding his touch later on. He was already a heavily utilized player early in his career and would average just over 15 points a game in both of his next two seasons. He had a career-high 30 points in his season finale against Cornell as a sophomore and would make 39% of his 3-pointers during his final year with the Tigers.

He played an important role in Princeton’s backcourt and picked up All-Ivy honors in those last two seasons, named First Team as a junior. Not only did Llewellyn lead Princeton to a 22-win season and Ivy League regular season title as a junior, but he was one of the league’s top scorers and offensive players as a whole. We’re still waiting to see what he produces in the Big Ten; he’ll be back at Michigan again next year, but we saw a player with a ton of potential in the Ivy League.
