- Nick Davidson (9.1 ppg and 4.0 rpg)
- Dillon Hunter (7.5 ppg and 3.7 rpg)

Likely returneesÂ
- Carter Welling (10.2 ppg and 5.4 rpg, out for next season)
- Ace Buckner (8.3 ppg and 2.9 rpg)
- Zac Foster (6.9 ppg and 2.5 apg)
Roster additions
- Liutauras Lelevicius (8.0 ppg and 3.4 rpg at TCU)
- Cole Certa (12.8 ppg and 1.7 rpg at Notre Dame)
- Dylan Faulker (17.2 ppg and 8.6 rpg at Samford)
- David Fuchs (12.7 ppg and 7.8 rpg at San Francisco)
The unfortunate Torn ACL injury suffered by Welling likely holds him out for 2026-27. But the recent addition of Fuchs along with Faulker should be a solid frontcourt duo. Certa and Lelevivius are good shooters, while Buckner is set up to be the lead guard on the roster.
On the surface, there’s not too much firepower for Clemson. But that was the case last season, and they finished in the top tier. Brad Brownell has established himself as one of the top head coaches in the ACC and should be able to maximize the roster again next year.
