3. Jalek Felton, Guard, North Carolina

Given Wisconsin’s need for big men, Jalek Felton is the only guard you’ll find on this list. And for good reason-he’s too good to pass up.

Felton was a five-star recruit in 2017 and has gobs of potential in his future. At 6-foot-4, he’s big enough and athletic enough to create his own shot at the college level and will be a great pickup for whichever team signs him.

Last season, he averaged 2.9 points and 1.6 assists per game in 22 appearances for the Tar Heels. That included two games where he scored in double-digits when he had 15 against Western Carolina and 12 against Ohio State.

Unfortunately, he too was suspended by his school on Jan. 30. North Carolina didn’t share a reason but Felton was clearly displeased by head coach Roy William’s decision and has decided to leave the program.

The Badgers already have a budding logjam at the guard position, but anytime you have a chance to acquire a talent like Felton, you can’t pass it up.
