NCAA Basketball: Top 25 impact true freshmen entering 2023-24 season
22. Andrej Stojakovic – Stanford Cardinal
Stanford lost starting wing Harrison Ingram to the transfer portal but did bring back a pair of sharpshooters in Michael Jones and Spencer Jones. And joining the offensive firepower is Andrej Stojakovic, the son of former NBA star wing, Peja Stojakovic. The younger shooter has the chance to be the Pac-12 6th Man of the Year and help turn the Cardinal into a possible threat in the league.
21. TJ Power – Duke Blue Devils
With four starters coming back, it’s going to be hard for the No. 2 overall incoming recruiting class to have much of an impact next season. One area where someone can make inroads is via shooting, especially in the frontcourt. Neither Kyle Filipowski nor Mark Mitchell are elite floor spacers having someone like Power, a five-star freshman forward, will allow Duke to use some creative lineups to maximize everyone’s potential.
20. Dusty Stromer – Gonzaga Bulldogs
It’s been a wild offseason regarding Gonzaga’s roster moves but the backcourt is set for next season with Nolan Hickman and Creighton transfer, Ryan Nembhard. Stromer, a top-50 freshman guard, has the chance to be the first guard off the bench. He was one of the top performers out west and at 6’5 can play multiple positions on the perimeter. Look for him to be an offensive upgrade over Hunter Sallis off the bench.
