Takeaways from Wisconsin men's basketball's first transfer commitment

After weeks of waiting, the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball program added its first player through the transfer portal.

George Washington guard Trey Autry made the move to Madison after spending his first three seasons with the Revolutionaries.

Now, Autry makes the jump from the A-10 to the Big Ten. The New York native has just one year of eligibility remaining, but brings a ton of experience to a Wisconsin starting lineup that desperately needs it.

Autry has started 68 career games

Knowing incoming freshman Owen Foxwell could be running the show, it was extremely important for Greg Gard to give him an experienced counterpart. Should Foxwell struggle, Autry will be there to make sure this team gets back to the NCAA Tournament.

Last year, he started all 34 games for the Revolutionaries. He's played in 100 career games and has started 68 of those. He's yet to average fewer than 18.5 minutes per game in a season, and that's a number he'll easily hit with the Badgers.

75.68% of his field goal attempts are three-pointers

With no small sample size, Autry has managed to have basically every three out of his four shots be three-pointers. With 658 career field goals in three seasons, 498 of those have come from distance.

Autry's career field goal percentage sits at 44.1% while he's 37.6% from three. Last year, he shot 38.5% from distance, which was barely down from the 38.6% he shot a year prior. Keep in mind, he shot 218 three-pointers in his junior season compared to 166 as a sophomore.
