5 Kansas State basketball transfers that ended up being game-changers

Kansas State basketball has benefitted from the transfer portal, mostly in the last two seasons, especially when Jerome Tang took over the head coach position.

With Tang being a first-year head coach, it was tough to get transfers to come to a program that had struggled for quite some time. Tang, however, knew exactly what he was doing in bringing some of the best transfers that Kansas State needed, not necessarily the best talent in the portal.

With the transfer portal officially opening for the first time in 2019, Kansas State basketball did not see their first portal player till the 2020 season.

So looking at every transfer that has come to K-State through the portal, which ones ended up being major game-changers?

Tylor Perry was a transfer out of North Texas and was a good replacement for Markquis Nowell after he left for the NBA. However, no player is ever perfect and Perry had his downfalls. Perry was great at finding ways to get to the basket and score, and if he didn't score, he got fouled and made his free throws.

Perry was also a great playmaker for the Wildcats with good vision of the court. The only thing that plagued his play was turnovers. At K-State he averaged 2.7 turnovers per game, which in turn plagued the Wildcats' season.

However, the good outweighed the bad and Perry was a big game-changer for the team, leading the squad in scoring most games, even as a point guard. How he is trying his hand at the NBA.
