This is another creative way to look at the top options in the 2024 transfer cycle.

Big fan of how ben pfeifer uses the horizontal board for NBA Draft prep. It's useful for the portal, too. Easy to see where some positional scarcity will come into play really soon.

Good move by Auburn to surround Tahaad Pettiford with snipers like JP Pegues, Denver Jones and Chad Baker-Mazara.

Potential to be a really dynamic backcourt

Maxime Raynaud, the No. 5-ranked transfer and one of the top available bigs, is staying at Stanford.

Enormous win for Kyle Smith. Raynaud clearly did his homework on what Smith has done with talented big men in the past.

Been digging into Evansville transfer Ben Humrichous this week. Sleeper in the 247Sports Transfer Portal. Former NAIA hooper who shot over 42% from 3 on 126 attempts. Multiple high-majors sniffing around.

Look how his teammates react every time he shoots. They think every shot is cash

A Walter Clayton Jr.-Alijah Martin-Will Richard starting backcourt would feed millions.

That's a big one. Thought Jonas Aidoo was one of the most improved players in the country this past season.

Zach Edey was a bad matchup in March, but top-100 teams shot just 53% at the rim against Tennessee when Aidoo was on the floor.
