5 transfer point guards Kentucky should target to replace Reed Sheppard

3. Jordan Pope (Junior; Oregon State)

Need a dynamic and explosive scorer at the lead guard spot? That's Jordan Pope.

Pope averaged 17.6 points, 3.4 assists and shot 37.1 percent from three on 2.1 made 3s a game last year. He was also very efficient, shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 50.4 percent on 2s.

Pope has good size at 6-foot-2 but isn't incredibly built. He's smaller in that sense but makes up for it with his quick first step and ability to get into the paint at will, shooting 59 percent at the rim.

He had 12 games with at least 20 points and had at least two made 3s in 17 games.

He has a career three-point percentage of 37.4 percent across two seasons.

Pope is a score-first type point guard who is extremely effective at all three levels. Like Javon Small, he's a terrific scoring guard who would be able to produce right away and bring a much-needed scoring punch to Pope's offense.
