NC State almost landed 6’7 forward Landers Nolley out of high school.
Instead, the 4-star, #67 ranked player in the class of 2019 he ended up at Virginia Tech where he averaged 15.5 pts, shot 32% from 3, pulled in 6 boards, and dished out 2.4 assists. Nolley seemed on his way to becoming a true NBA prospect.
However, a late season slump slowed down his ascent. He then chose to transfer to Memphis to play under former Magic star Penny Hardaway.
In his first season with Memphis, his offensive usage went way down, but his stats didn’t really dip too badly.
