ACC Basketball: Top 20 transfers heading into 2024-25 season
3) Sion James | 6’6 Guard/Wing | Duke Blue Devils
Sion James is an underrated name joining the Duke Blue Devils from the Tulane Green Wave in the AAC. The ACC has a lot more pressure that comes with it and given he's joining Duke, James places the target squarely on his back as a top transfer to know.
He posted 14.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game on 38.1 percent shooting from 3-point range this past season. James developed nicely across four seasons in the AAC. Now, he'll look to up the ante in joining a high-major conference.
At 6-foot-6, he's shown he can fly around on both ends of the floor, shoot the ball on the perimeter and make plays for others. James finished 20th in the AAC in blocks (23) this past year.
He'll be quite the dynamic addition to the Blue Devils' rotation given their talented freshman class also joining the ranks. Whether off the bench or as a starter, he's a new addition who's set to make quite the splash for Coach Scheyer and company.
