There were plenty of questions about Syracuse heading into the Maui Invitational. Boeheim worried about where the offensive would come from after a scare against St. Francis.
Jerami Grant was named an All-ACC Honorable Mention after averaging 12.1 points and a team-leading 6.8 rebounds per game. He was also named to the Maui Invitational All-Tournament Team after averaging 16.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 5 asts.
Next year’s Syracuse men’s basketball team has big shoes to fill. The departing quartet of CJ Fair, Tyler Ennis, Jerami Grant and Baye Moussa Keita played 58 percent of the team’s minutes and scored 63 percent of its points last season.

Without question, Carmelo Anthony the prize of this summer’s NBA free agent class. He’s a top-three scoring talent who has had zero success in the postseason, which in the NBA, means he’s had a lackluster career.

In his only year at Syracuse, Tyler Ennis started all 34 games, averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.1 steals, while playing 35.7 minutes per game.
