Getting To Know The Transfers
Andrew Garcia- Andrew Garcia averaged 13.4 PPG, 6.7 RPG, and 1.9 APG last season. He made the All-America East second team, and finished his redshirt junior campaign with six double-doubles.

Now, he's headed to the University of Georgia to play for Tom Crean, as he's committed to the Dawgs, as first reported by Andrew Slater of the Athletic.

He's immediately eligible and will add a veteran ball-handler to the Georgia roster.

At 6'5, nearing 230 pounds he potentially fills the physical void left by Anthony Edwards' departure. His 1.6 steals per game last season show he's active in the passing lanes as a defender.

He's a 47% shooter from the floor, 32.1% from beyond the arc. He's never really been a volume shooter over his career. His game-high in shot attempts last season of 14 shows he fits in where he can on an effective night.

Justin Kier- Kier has 108 games of experience and 95 starts under his belt as a college basketball player. The Georgia Bulldogs won't be as young as they were a season ago, but there is still some youth and inexperience on this team. Adding a seasoned player like Kier will help this team grow up.

Kier will likely make the most impact at the 3-point line for the Bulldogs. While he only played 9 games this season for the Patriots, Kier's 45.8% from deep is still an impressive percentage. From a career stand point, Kier has shot above 35% from three point land in 3 of his 4 collegiate seasons.

On the offensive side, Kier shows a lot of potential in his ability to move without the ball, finish at the rim in traffic, and shoot consistently in catch-and-shoot situations. At 6'4 200 pounds, Kier has the perfect frame for a 2-guard in Tom Crean's system. In his 2018-2019 campaign, the last full season of basketball he's played, Kier averaged 14.5 PPG on 47.1% shooting and 6.5 RPG.

As for defense, Kier also does a solid job of making ball handlers pay for loose handles. In his career, he's averaging just above 1 steal per outing.

Expect Kier to be in great position to have a starting spot from Day 1 given his shooting ability and experience.

Jonathan Ned-
• Rated as the No. 15 junior college recruit in the nation by 247Sports.com, as well as listed at No. 49 by jucorecruiting.com.
• Started 28 of 63 games played with the Titans and scored 612 points, a 9.7 ppg average.
• Recorded 28 double-figure scoring games and five double-digit rebound performances, efforts which led to three double-doubles.
• Posted career highs of 25 points against Hartford Community College as a freshman and 17 rebounds versus TLAP Prep as a sophomore.

Mikal Starks- Coached by Jeremy Shulman at Eastern Florida State College.
• Ranked as the No. 9 junior college recruit in the Class of 2020 by 247Sports.com.
• Played in 47 games during two seasons with the Titans, starting 26 of those contests.
• Averaged 5.1 points and 3.6 assists per game while playing 22.0 minutes in those outings.
• Notched seven double-figure scoring outputs, with a career-best of 15 twice during his sophomore season.

PJ Horne- The 6-foot-7 Tifton, Ga native averaged 7.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg, and shot 44.7 percent from the field during his junior season at Virginia Tech. Horne also started in 30 games for the Hokies and will be adding a lot of veteran experience to the Georgia roster.

Horne also shot 34.9 percent from behind the arc last season, but only averaged four shot attempts from the three-point line a game. The experience that Horne is bringing to the table will be huge for the young Georgia frontcourt.

It should be noted that prior to Horne's commitment the Georgia basketball roster was already at full capacity meaning that either a player will be transferring or a current commit will no longer be coming to the University of Georgia.

Tyron MacMillan- Tom Crean needed a big man for his 2020 class and on Sunday he landed his target. Kilgore junior college (Texas) power forward Tyron McMillan committed to Georgia, per CBSSports Basketball insider Jon Rothstein.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pound prospect picked the Bulldogs over offers from LSU, Ole Miss, Arizona State, and St. John's. McMillan played in 29 games as a freshman last season, making 27 starts, and averaging 10.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, on 52.1 percent shooting.

It is worth noting that Ned and Starks were teammates in JUCO.
