Transfers Devan and Desmond Cambridge commit to Arizona State

Brothers Devan and Desmond Cambridge have committed to Arizona State, they told On3.

Desmond, the older brother, is a graduate transfer from the University of Nevada. This past season, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard averaged 16.2 points a game, on 43.5% from the field and 37% from three. He also grabbed 5.1 rebounds and dished out 1.8 assists per outing. Arizona State will be his third college, as he spent two years at Brown University before ending up at Nevada. He will have one year of eligibility for the Sun Devils.

The younger brother, Devan, is a transfer from Auburn. The 6-foot-6 wing has spent the last three years playing for Bruce Pearl. This season, he averaged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in just under 20 minutes a game. In the 2020-21 season, Cambridge had a larger role, averaging 8.9 points per game. The former Auburn Tiger has at least two years of eligibility remaining.

The brothers break down their decision to Arizona State

“ASU is a great fit for me and my brother’s playstyle,” Desmond Cambridge said. “They really push the tempo on offense and love scoring the ball. In this high octane type of system, we will be able to really showcase our athleticism and offensive capabilities. Coach Hurley is a hands-on type of coach who works with you personally on skill development & other aspects of the game to help you reach your full potential. Not to mention, he has played at the highest level of the sport and has a prestigious record within the basketball world. Learning from a guy like that is priceless and rare. Although my brother has already played in the SEC, I want to show that I excel in a Power 5 program. I think we will be able to compete for a championship in the Pac-12, and be a NCAA tournament team. I love the coaching staff, city of Tempe, and needed to be in a place that’s warm (laughs). This is the right fit for him and myself.”

“Coach Hurley is a hall of fame coach,” Devan Cambridge added. “He knows how to develop his players and from what I’ve seen he’s a great person. Phoenix is a great city with a lot of opportunities available for us…looking at film and talking to mentors and family, they think it fits perfectly. I just can see us prospering, to be honest.”
