NC State Lands Hammond, Kicking Off Gainey Era

NC State secures a significant transfer portal win with Christian Hammond, a six-foot-four sophomore combo guard from Santa Clara. Hammond, who averaged 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists last season, joins the Wolfpack as the first commit under Justin Gaineys era. Known for his smart scoring and ability to finish through contact, Hammonds arrival brings balanced scoring and a faster tempo to the Pack. However, Gainey must address the need for a true point guard and more pieces to contend early in the season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
