College basketball transfer portal: Favorite fits of 2022 cycle, version 2.0

UConn landing East Carolina guard Tristen Newton was one of 247Sports' favorite decisions, and the Huskies make it on Version 2.0 again. Virginia Tech guard Nahiem Alleyne is such a flawless fit alongside Newton in Dan Hurley's offense. Alleyne is a very polished in the catch-and-shoot game. He shot 37% from 3-point range this past season, and his one-dribble pull-up game is really good, too. Newton can handle the brunt of the ball-handling duties which should allow Alleyne to relocate and find his spots to get buckets. He shot 41.7% on corner 3s last year at Virginia Tech, and he also was 24-for-48 on elbow jumpers, so UConn can run him off down screens to get easy looks. Alleyne-Newton will be a very fun 1-2 combination for UConn.
