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.
Though Syracuse was on the wrong side of this game, Boeheim’s ejection became an overnight sensation, and multiple memes of his jacket toss went viral.
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.
Now that CJ Fair, Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant have all moved on to professional ranks, who do you think will lead Syracuse basketball in scoring next year?
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.
Syracuse lost three of its top four scorers from last season with CJ Fair, Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant all leaving the team. Fair was the team’s leading scorer at 16.5 points per game. Ennis was second at 12.9 ppg, and Grant was fourth at 12.1 ppg.
Now that Jerami Grant, Tyler Ennis and CJ Fair have left Syracuse, there are three spots in the starting lineup up for grabs. Who do you think the starting 5 will be in the 2014-15 season?
Another game. Another thrilling win. Syracuse had just defeated Pittsburgh on Wednesday night after a buzzer-beating 3-point heave from Tyler Ennis at the buzzer, so it shouldn’t have been surprising that the Orange needed another dramatic sequence to pull out the win.
