Mid-major players to watch in the 2024 NBA Draft--Mid-Major Madness
Malevy Leons (Bradley)
A deep sleeper in this year’s draft, Leons is a defensive menace who guarded basically every position and spot on the floor during his career at Bradley. He also averaged 13.8 points per game this past season, shooting the three at a solid but unspectacular 34% clip.
Former mid-major stars
There are several prospects who played at mid-major schools before transferring to high-major schools.
The mid-major schools played a significant role in the development of these players. Even though the mid-majors won’t be called when the player is announced, they deserve credit for getting them to this moment.

Lipscomb adds some personality with Ross Candelino--NashvilleHoops.blog
Some other news on the bench:
— Belmont will now have two associate head coaches. Brian Ayers already held that title but head coach Casey Alexander has also named Sean Rutigliano as an associate head coach. We’ll need clarification concerning which one takes over the team if Alexander ever gets ejected from a game. An opening on the coaching staff was created when assistant Tyler Holloway left to be the head coach at Christ Presbyterian Academy. Former Bruins’ point guard Kerron Johnson moved up to assistant coach. Alexander also added former Belmont point guard Luke Smith to his staff as director of player development. Smith had served as an assistant Trevecca Nazarene last season and was the head coach at Knoxville Catholic High School before that.
