15.) Jamarii Thomas – Norfolk State
FPTS/G: 34.2
Arriving from UNC Wilmington this past offseason, Thomas has been a double-digit scorer in every contest but one this season averaging 18 PPG, 4.1 APG, and 2.5 STLPG to lead the Spartans to a 9-6 start with wins over FGCU, VCU, and Illinois State.

FPTS/G: 35.6
Our second Golden Bear on this list, the former Mercer, Utah Valley, and Texas Tech transfer has been a double-double machine averaging 16.9 PPG, 10.7 RPG, and 1.2 BKPG despite Cal’s rocky start under Mark Madsen.

One of the best transfers I’ve seen in person so far this season, Flanigan has carried the Rebels to a No. 25 national ranking and an undefeated 11-0 start while averaging 17 PPG, 7 RPG, 3.2 APG, and 1.6 STLPG for new head coach Chris Beard.
