4. Chucky Hepburn (Senior; Wisconsin)
Hepburn is the newest name to enter the transfer portal, doing so on Thursday afternoon.
Hepburn played three years with Wisconsin and was never an explosive athlete, but a terrific game-manager. He averaged 9.8 points and 3.0 assists across 103 games -- all starts -- in his career.
Last year, Hepburn averaged 9.2 points and 3.9 assists per game.
While he shot just 32.2 percent from three last year, he's a career 36.5 percent shooter from three and shot 40.5 percent from three as a sophomore.
The biggest question I have about Hepburn is -- was his skillset decreased because of Wisconsin's style of play?
Surrounded by the right guys -- Hepburn would excel in Pope's offense, especially with his ability to defend and get the team out in transition.
