C.J., a 6’5 transfer from Albany, scored a career-high 27 points in the win over Rutgers and he’s second on the team in scoring (13.9).
Penn State transfer Trent Buttrick lines up in the middle, and he’s averaging 11.6 ppg and a team-leading 5.1 rpg.
Davidson Wildcats

Brajkovic remains consistent as ever in year four. The 6’10 big is averaging career-bests of 12.4 ppg and 2.4 apg, while tying the team lead with 6.7 rpg.
Foster Loyer is fittingly a Curry-esque sniper. The Michigan State transfer scored a career-high 35 points and hit eight threes in the win over Northeastern, and his scoring average is up a whopping 13 points, up to 16.2 ppg.
