Indiana men’s basketball added a twelfth scholarship player Tuesday in transfer guard Justin Monden of Maryland Eastern Shore. Monden is in his final year of eligibility, having spent two seasons at Georgia Southwestern State.
Last year at Maryland Eastern Shore, Monden appeared in 32 games, making one start. He averaged six points and 1.6 assists in 20.7 minutes per contest.
Per KenPom, Monden saw spots at both the point guard and shooting guard spots, eventually earning 53% of the team’s shooting guard minutes. He’s more of a driving guard though, averaging 27% from deep on 2.3 attempts per game.
