21. Matthew Murrell - Ole Miss Rebels

2023-24 season stats: 16.2 ppg and 3.6 rpg

Not only did Murrell lead the Rebels in scoring on career-high numbers but he also did it on 40% shooting from deep on six attempts a game. The 6’4 scoring guard had at least eight points in every game this season, with nine of at least 20 points. After missing the NCAAT, Ole Miss would prefer to build around the potential 5th-year senior, rather than rebuild overall.

20. Jaxson Robinson - BYU Cougars

2023-24 season stats: 14.2 ppg and 2.5 rpg

The former top-100 prospect finally had his breakout campaign at BYU, leading them in scoring off the bench. The Big 12 6th Man of the Year shot over 35% from deep, along with five games with at least 20 points. The 25-point effort against Duquesne in the Big Dance was a good showing for NBA scouts, will he ride the momentum and not return to the Cougars?

19. Jeremy Roach - Duke Blue Devils

2023-24 season stats: 14.0 ppg and 3.3 apg

On a team with star underclassmen throughout the roster, Roach was able to carve out his own role, second on the team in scoring overall. He had very efficient numbers, including shooting 43% from three-point range. Yes, Duke will have another No. 1 incoming recruiting class, led by star prospect, Cooper Flagg. Having a senior veteran like Roach would be big for the team next year, especially in March.
