NCAA Basketball: Top 10 players to wear jersey No. 30 in 2023-24 season

Honorable Mentions

Elijah Buchanan (NJIT)

Buchanan actually spent parts of five seasons at Manhattan before finding a new home at NJIT for the end of his collegiate career. While he’d miss some time this year, he still put up 13.2 points and 5.8 rebounds while he was on the court with the Highlanders. This wasn’t a stellar season for NJIT, though Buchanan was still one of the America East’s best in points and steals this past year.

Charlie Easley (South Dakota State)

After a very limited impact as a freshman at Nebraska, Easley transferred to South Dakota State four seasons ago and has done quite a bit more since landing in Brookings. Easley averaged 12.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in what was certainly his best effort with the Jackrabbits.  Easley also grabbed 2.1 steals a game to lead the Summit League and earned a spot on All-Defense in the conference.

Joe French (Arkansas-Pine Bluff)

After success while at Bethune-Cookman, French transferred to Arkansas-Pine Bluff this past offseason. He stayed put in the SWAC but did well in his new surroundings, averaging 15.1 points and 3.3 rebounds for the Golden Lions while making 40% of his 3-pointers. French continued to be a standout scorer and sharpshooter, leading the conference in 3-pointers. His career numbers in the SWAC in recent years really stand out, even during a down year for Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Anthony Pritchard (Central Michigan)

Potential was certainly shown by Pritchard as an underclassman at Tulsa, though he started to come into his own after transferring this past season. Now at Central Michigan, Pritchard averaged 12.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.7 steals a game for the Chippewas, guiding the program to a 4th place finish in the MAC. Among the league’s best in assists and steals, Pritchard was named both First Team All-MAC and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year.
