UGA basketball forward Michael Peake is entering the transfer after just one year on the team. Peake averaged 11.2 minutes per game.

If there’s one area UGA basketball couldn’t afford losing players at, its at forward. Tom Crean’s Georgia Bulldogs already lost three of the big men it entered the 2019-20 season with, freshman Michael Peake is now the fourth forward to leave the team. Peake announced he’s entering the transfer portal on Wednesday.

At 6-8 and 220 lbs, Peake wasn’t exactly a giant in college basketball, but he was one of the biggest players on the UGA basketball team.
