Marquette lands graduate transfer guard Joseph Chartouny from Fordham

The Marquette men's basketball team landed some immediate help for its backcourt on Friday.
Coach Steve Wojciechowski secured a commitment from Fordham graduate transfer guard Joseph Chartouny. He is eligible to play next season.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound native of Montreal will help bolster a Golden Eagles backcourt that lost Andrew Rowsey to graduation.
Chartouny was a three-year starter with the Rams, averaging 11.9 points, 5.2 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game.
As a sophomore in 2016-'17, Chartouny was third in the NCAA at 3.2 steals per game.
Adding his size and defensive ability should make a big difference for MU, which often found itself in mismatches last season by playing two undersized guards in Rowsey and Markus Howard.
The Golden Eagles have one open scholarship slot next season and are in the mix for several other transfers.
