Breaking News:Tar Heels confirms Adou Thiero deal imminent

With the college basketball transfer portal closing in less than two weeks, let’s take a look at the best available wings still on the board.

There are less than two weeks remaining until the May 1 close of this year’s college basketball transfer portal window and the flow of players into the portal is finally starting to slow to a drip. There will still be a few more entrants, but the portal is starting to take shape and if you are in need of a wing scorer, then you had better start moving fast to lock in your guy.

Currently, only 10 of the Top-60 ranked players in the portal are considered wing scorers with the top wings like Tucker DeVries and Kobe Johnson being locked up by West Virginia and UCLA fairly early in the process.

With those two and some others like Michael Ajayi (Gonzaga), PJ Haggerty (Memphis) and Tramon Mark (Texas) already off the board, let’s examine the top ten available wing scorers in the portal. A lot could happen this weekend, so it would not be a surprise if more of these guys come off the board sooner than later.

A late-bloomer coming out of high school, Adou Thiero signed with Kentucky in large part because of John Calipari. The now Arkansas took a chance on Theiero after having coached his father at Memphis. While Thiero’s stats aren’t particularly eye-catching, anybody who has watched the high-energy and freaky athletic forward know just how much potential he has and how quickly he is improving. Because of his strong 220-pound frame and 6-foot-8 size, Thiero has the versatility to play as a small ball four or a big wing and he’s highly switchable on the defensive end, a trait that coaching staffs love.

Surely new Kentucky coach Mark  Pope would love to find a way to lure Thiero back into the fold but that seems like a pretty big ask even if there hasn’t yet been much talk about where Thiero’s next stop will be.
