Transfers Jairus Hamilton and Galin Smith are set to play big roles for Maryland men’s basketball

Maryland men’s basketball enters the 2020-21 season with much uncertainty around a very different makeup than recent years.

There’s of course the departures of Anthony Cowan Jr. and Jalen Smith, who was selected 10th overall in the NBA Draft earlier this week. Together they combined for 31.8 points per game last season, with one of the two leading the team in nearly every statistical category.

Though they both played bench roles throughout their two years in College Park, Ricky Lindo Jr. and Serrel Smith Jr. were expected to see more minutes this year, but instead elected to transfer.
