30. Christian Hammond - Santa Clara
2025-26 stats: 15.6 ppg and 2.5 apg
Hammond led Santa Clara in scoring this past season, shooting 48% from the field and 39% from deep on four attempts a game. The All-WCC guard had 10 games of at least 20 points, including 24 in the WCC title game against Gonzaga. The 6’4 shooting guard has two more years of eligibility and is one of the better natural scorers in the portal.
29. Anton Bonke - Charlotte
2025-26 stats: 10.6 ppg and 8.3 rpg
After a year with limited minutes at Providence, Bonke was a full-time starter for the 49ers, shooting 58% from the field and showing some range, making 13 three-point shots out of 38 (34%). The 7’2 center was ranked 4th in the American in both rebounds and blocks and was a good interior impact defender during league play.
28. Bangot Dak - Colorado
2025-26 stats: 11.5 ppg and 6.5 rpg
The 6’9 forward started 50 games for Colorado in three years, shooting 49% from the field and blocking 50 total shots. Dak had a pair of 20-point games at the end of the season, along with five double-doubles overall. He’ll be one of the better overall athletes in the portal and is a capable starter at the four-spot.
27. Kyle Evans - UC Irvine
2025-26 stats: 12.1 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 3.3 bpg
Continuing the long line of great Irvine bigs is Evans, who led the nation in blocks this season, including as many as eight in two different games. The Big West Defensive Player of the Year also produced 12 double-doubles, including 19 points, 11 rebounds, and eight blocks in an OT loss to Hawaii. The 6’10 big man doesn’t stretch the floor, but his interior defense is Evans main selling point in the portal.
26. Jaland Lowe - Kentucky
2025-26 stats (9 games): 8.0 apg, 2.4 apg
Shoulder injuries halted Lowe’s career at Kentucky, but in the season prior, the point guard averaged 16.8 ppg and 5.5 apg at Pittsburgh. While the career efficiency numbers (38% FG and 29% 3PT) are a concern, Lowe, when healthy, is a proven high-major starter who can run an offense.
