Garrison appeared in all 32 games and shot 57.2% from the floor while averaging 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22.6 minutes of action. The 6-foot-11 center is going to be a hot commodity in the NCAA Transfer Portal.
There are a few members of the Pepperdine Waves who are entering the NCAA Transfer Portal but none are as impactful as junior guard Michael Ajayi.

He had a great season for a struggling Waves team, appearing in 33 games and shooting 46.7/47.0/70.9. He was a force on the court, averaging 17.2 points and 9.9 rebounds. In 34.7 minutes per game, he recorded 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals.
He would be a great addition to a team looking for someone who can take over a game or be a strong second option on a championship-contending program.
Houston Mallette, Pepperdine
The Pepperdine Waves could see two members of their starting lineup leave to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Junior guard Houston Mallette has been an excellent shooter. In 31 games, he shot 41.5% from behind the arc. He averaged 14.7 points per game but has not demonstrated the ability to do everything else like Ajayi.
Expect a team to use him as a combination guard and find a good role next to a solid point guard to get the best out of him.
Dug McDaniel, Michigan
One of the best players on Michigan's squad this season, McDaniel enters the portal following a 16.3 PPG, 4.7 APG season. The Wolverines struggled to string together wins this year, with Juwan Howard and co. only managing to scrape eight wins.

McDaniel was rated Michigan's top defender this season, according to 247Sports, and is a former four-star prospect who will fit right in a team needing steady guard play.
Andrej Stojakovic, Stanford
Son of former NBA center Peja Stojakovic, Andrej averaged 7.8 PPG, 3.4 RPG, in 22.3 minutes per game with Stanford this season. Andrej was a top-25 prospect from the 2023 recruiting class and has three seasons of eligibility left. The former McDonald's All-American will now look for a new team that can complement his offensive abilities, being a below-average defender.

Jevon Porter, Pepperdine
A top-100 prospect from the 2022 recruiting class, Porter earned a mention in the All-WCC teams this season. The Pepperdine guard averaged 16.2 points, and 5.9 rebounds a game. A career 32.5% shooter from beyond the arc, Porter is expected to have several suitors owing to his size, and perimeter shooting.
Darlinstone Dubar, Hofstra
A 6-foot-6 wing for the Hofstra Pride, Dubar averaged 17.8 points, and 6.8 rebounds this season on a stellar 39.9% shooting from beyond the arc. The forward joined the Pride after starting his college career with the Iowa State Cyclones.

Dubar will enter his final year of eligibility this season and will look for opportunities to return to a major conference, similar to fellow Hofstra guard Aaron Estrada's move to Alabama.
Maxime Raynaud, Stanford
The Pac-12's most improved player this season, Raynaud doubled his scoring average from last year, putting up 15.5 PPG for the Cardinals. Besides the jump in his scoring, Raynaud also averaged 9.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 60+ shots from deep as a big.

Bensley Joseph, Miami
A 9.6 PPG scorer for the Hurricanes this season, Joseph was an important part of the Miami team that went all the way to the Final Four last year. The 6-foot-1 guard shot 37.9% from deep this season, to go with his 3.4 APG. Joseph will have one more year of eligibility remaining.
