RALEIGH, N.C. – Guard Marques Johnson has decided to transfer from NC State, and will not be a part of the Wolfpack men’s basketball team for the upcoming 2008-09 season.
“Marques felt it would be in his best interest to take advantage of an opportunity somewhere else,” said head coach Sidney Lowe. “He definitely has handled himself with as much class as anybody that I’ve been around since he has been at NC State.”
Johnson transferred to N.C. State from Tennessee for the spring semester in 2007, and completed only one season with the Pack. The 6-goot-6 guard saw action in 21 games after having to miss the first eight contests due to NCAA transfer rules.
Johnson ended the season averaging 2.0 points and 1.2 assists per game, with six starts at point guard. With Farnold Degand returning from injury, and the emergence of Javier Gonzalez towards the end of last season, Johnson would have had a hard time finding the court this year.
