NC State Lands Santa Clara's Christian Hammond

NC States backcourt gets a major boost with Christian Hammond, a 64 combo guard from Santa Clara. Hammond averaged 15.6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game last season, shooting 49% from the field and 39% from three. With two years of eligibility left, hes ready to make an immediate impact. Hammond started every game for Santa Clara this year, leading the team in scoring and earning first team All-WCC honors. He comes from a hoops family, with his late grandpa playing in the ABA, dad balling at Loyola Marymount and pro in Australia, mom at Cal Poly, and his brother currently playing for Colorado. This move sets up NC State for a gritty backcourt battle next season, linking old Wolfpack vibes from coach Herb Sendeks Santa Clara days straight to Raleigh.
