On3 Ranks Simas Lukosius Among Top-10 Big 12 Transfers

Cincinnati could run a decent amount of offense through the Butler transfer this coming season.

CINCINNATI — UC men's basketball is rolling out plenty of new players this coming season, including former Butler forward Simas Lukosius. 

On3's Jamie Shaw placed him as the 10th-best transfer to join the league ahead of the season.

"An under-the-radar add during the off-season and should have a featured role in what Cincinnati Head Coach Wes Miller is doing this season as they transition into the Big 12," Shaw wrote. "Lukosius is a very skilled player. He has soft touch and range on his jump shot but is also an excellent passer. Do not be surprised if the Bearcats run offense through Lukosius in the half-court and often try to get the ball in his hands. It is never easy to change leagues, especially jumping from non-power five into the power five. Lukosius is used to the grind coming from the Big East, and any success that Cincinnati has this season looks like it will be centered around what he can bring to the floor.

Lukosius (11 Pts, 4 Reb, 2.9 Ast in 2022-23) hit 37% of his threes on 4.9 attempts per game last season in a variety of ways. He can create his triple off the bounce and weave through screens as a deadly player off the catch.

Miller noted how impressed the staff has been with Lukosius throughout the summer as they try to find a playmaking hierarchy after the exit of Mika Adams-Woods and David DeJulius.
