How Penn State Basketball’s latest additions Andrew Funk, Cam Wynter fit
By Evan Smith
Penn State Basketball head coach Micah Shrewsberry picked up two marquee additions to the Nittany Lions’ lineup Thursday afternoon
Penn State Basketball announced two committments from the transfer portal, Andrew Funk and Cam Wynter.
From just up the road in Lewisburg, Andrew Funk played his first four years at Bucknell University. Last year, he averaged 17.6 points per game to go with 3.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists. The 6’5″ shooting guard is originally from Warrington, PA and was a three star recruit coming out of high school.
Cam (Camern) Wynter is from just a bit further down Route 80 and down 476, having played his first four years for the Drexel Dragons.
Wynter averaged 15.8 points per game, 3.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists, although shot a disappointing 27.8% from three. The 6’2″ guard is originally from Hempstead, New York.
Both players will spend their fifth (COVID-19) year with the Nittany Lions.
Depending on what type of metrics you most passionately believe in, these could be important pick-ups for the 2022-2023 Nittany Lion hoops team.
Andrew Funk was rated No. 84 in ESPN’s Jeff Borzello’s “Top 100 Transfer Portal Players” and Wynter even higher at No. 65. Borzello ranked Sam Sessoms at No. 78.
However, advanced metric master Evan Miya ranks both Funk (317th) and Wynter (137th) significantly lower, with both having significant negative defensive rankings.
