With Malachi Richardson officially staying in the NBA draft, the 2016-2017 Syracuse men’s basketball team lists eight players officially on scholarship.
Syracuse guard Malachi Richardson will test the NBA Draft waters, submitting his name to be draft eligible, but he won’t sign with an agent so he can retain his college eligibility if he decides to return to SU for his sophomore season.
If you want to know why Syracuse is 7-3, it’s because the two of Syracuse’s shooters, Trevor Cooney and Malachi Richardson, simply can’t accomplish that core objective of the sport they play.
