Jamison Lynam, standout point guard for the Arcadia University’s men’s basketball team, has transferred to La Salle University, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Lynam, a rising junior and the grandson of former St. Joseph’s and 76ers coach Jim Lynam, was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom Rookie of the Year as a freshman. He averaged 17.7 points and 3.0 assists to earn all-conference first-team honors as a sophomore.

“I think I had in my head from the day that I stepped on Arcadia’s campus that eventually I would want to get into the portal,” Lynam, a Virginia native, told The Inquirer. “But when it really came down to it, I can’t lie, it was a little hard because of how much I felt that they did for me. … The stuff that I learned at Arcadia and the development in my game that took place while I was there — I’m going to carry that on with me. I think I’m in for a pretty successful future because of it.”

Lynam’s grandfather, who coached the 76ers from 1988 to 1992, is currently a television analyst for NBC Sports Philadelphia. His aunt, Dei Lynam, is a former Sixers television reporter who was recently hired by La Salle to coach the women’s golf team.
