Another grad transfer for Kevin Keatts? Sure, why not.
NC State is not through trying to add guard depth for next season just yet. Texas Southern graduate transfer Zach Lofton has heard from a number of high majors, per Jeff Goodman, the Wolfpack included. Lofton averaged 16.8 points per game for the Tigers as a junior this past season.
Lofton is the definition of college journeyman, having begun his career at Illinois State before signing with Minnesota, getting kicked off the Gophers before playing a single regular-season game, and then transferring to Texas Southern. Nobody seems to much mind his history, based on the interest he’s gotten: Gonzaga, South Carolina, and Pittsburgh are among the other schools interested.
He was pretty good as a high-workload player last season, posting a respectable 48.7% shooting percentage inside the arc and getting to the free throw line frequently. He is, alas, merely a 27.1% career three-point shooter, though that hasn’t discouraged him from taking plenty of threes.
But he does appear capable of helping in a few different ways and NC State is not exactly in position to quibble over a few flaws in a kid who has averaged double digits in both of his college seasons.
