RALEIGH — N.C. State's bench will have a different look next season. DeShawn Painter, the top backup forward for the Wolfpack, and Jaqawn Raymond, a reserve guard, plan to transfer, the school announced Wednesday.
Painter, who averaged 6.2 points and 4.3 rebounds as a junior, wants to finish his career closer to his home in Norfolk, Va. to be with his ailing mother and grandmother. Under NCAA transfer rules, Painter can apply for a waiver and be eligible for the 2012-13 season.
