35. Paulius Murauskas - Saint Mary's

2024-2025 stats: 12.1 pts, 7.7 reb, 1.3 ast

If there is one program that has been able to maintain and develop players in this new era of college sports, it is Randy Bennett and Saint Mary’s. The All-WCC First Teamer Murauskas will be the go to guy for the Gaels next season after losing their other top three scorers from a year ago.

34. Braden Huff - Gonzaga

2024-2025 stats: 11.0 pts, 3.4 reb, 1.1 ast

Huff will be back for a third season in Spokane under Mark Few. While he played sparingly compared to others on this list at just 16.6 minutes per game, he was extremely efficient when on the floor and often provided a spark to the Zags offense.

33. Aden Holloway - Alabama

2024-2025 stats: 11.4 pts, 1.9 reb, 1.9 ast

After transferring from rival Auburn, Holloway will be sporting the Crimson for another season. The former McDonald’s All-American was one of the best players off the bench last season shooting 41.2% from behind the arc, but will now step into a much bigger role.

32. Tyler Bilodeau - UCLA

2024-2025 stats: 13.5 pts, 4.6 reb, 1.5 ast

Bilodeau is back for another year at UCLA after transferring in from Oregon State. He quietly led the Bruins in both scoring and three-point shooting percentage last year, and he should be a strong fit alongside an impressive transfer class that includes Donovan Dent.

31. Milan Momcilovic - Iowa State

2024-2025 stats: 11.5 pts, 3.3 reb, 0.9 ast

Momcilovic has started in all but one game in his Iowa State career and has a potential to be a real breakout star in the Big 12. He has averaged double figures over both of his seasons, but has flown under the radar on some talented Iowa State teams.
