He is the third Bulldog to hit the transfer market on Monday, joining now-former teammates Justin Hill and Jalen DeLoach.
“My career at Georgia has had its ups and downs throughout it all I’ve felt tremendous love and support from this wonderful community,” he wrote. “As my career here comes to an end I want to take time to thank everyone from the janitors, administration, GA’s, managers, to the barbers, classmates, fans, coach, everyone that’s helped me get through this year. Now it’s time I enter the transfer portal to remind y’all who I am.”
A senior, Alexander-Moncrieffe played the two seasons at Georgia. He averaged 1.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game having played in 16 games while making four starts. During his first season with the program, he was more productive having started 26 of the 28 games Georgia played that season.
Before his time in Athens, he spent the first two seasons of his college career at Oklahoma State. His best season was his first, logging career highs in points (9.0 per) and rebounds (5.3).
He is a former four-star recruit, according to the On3 Industry Ratings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services.
He joins Hill, a 6-foot senior, who averaged 9.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season for the Bulldogs. As well as Deloach, a 6-foot-9 junior, who averaged 3.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game this season for the Bulldogs
