Iowa State added a graduate transfer to its 2017-18 men’s basketball roster Thursday afternoon.

Zoran Talley, a 6-foot-7 forward, was named Conference-USA Sixth Man of the Year in 2016-17 after averaging 11.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game for Old Dominion.

“We are excited to add Zoran to our program,” coach Steve Prohm said in a release from the university. “He has had great success, both personally and as a team, at ODU and will be an asset for our team. Zoran brings versatility on both ends of the floor and his ability to play and guard several positions will benefit us. He can score and make plays and with him being immediately eligible, that is great for us.”

Talley will be expected to provide some frontcourt depth for an Iowa State team that is replacing four starters.
