Today is June 2nd and Oregon still finds itself with roster spots to be filled. Dana Altman and Co. lost F Brandon Angel, G TJ Bamba, G Keeshawn Barthelemy, F Supreme Cook, G Ra’Heim Moss, and Walk-On G Jayson Williams-Johnson, all of which are out of eligibility. Angel and Moss both have also entered the transfer portal in the hopes of getting another year. Oregon lost three more to the transfer portal in F Jadrian Tracey (VCU), F Mookie Cook (San Francisco), and Preferred Walk-On F James Cooper, who hasn’t found a home yet. The biggest loss from this group is definitely TJ Bamba or Keeshawn Barthelemy.

Bamba was red hot in November, most notably the Player’s Era Festival Tournament in Las Vegas, where the Ducks ran the floor. Following this stretch however, the Villanova transfer fell into a career worst slump in terms of shooting percentage and overall efficiency. Bamba averaged 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. The Senior’s shooting splits were 38.9/25.3/74.0, well below average. TJ’s defense was outstanding and could completely take a player out of the game on any given night, which Oregon will certainly miss.

Keeshawn Barthelemy was another very experienced guard for the Ducks this past season, and he was the team’s sharpshooter. Barthelemy averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.1 steals this past season. The Canadian-born Barthelemy shot 42.6% from the field, 41.4% from deep, and 88.6% from the FT line. Keeshawn was extremely dependable this season, and when Oregon needed him most, he stepped up.
