Jim Boeheim says Tyus Battle will be “haunted” on draft day
Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim recently said Tyus Battle will be “haunted” on draft day. Here are all the details and what it means.
Tyus Battle made his decision to leave the Syracuse basketball program in 2018, not 2019. When Battle said he was returning for his junior campaign back in 2018 he said: “my plan is to re-enter the draft next year.”
So it wasn’t a huge surprise when he ultimately followed through on that prophecy in the spring of 2019.
Since declaring his intentions to pursue professional opportunities he has worked out for several NBA teams:
Atlanta Hawks
New Orleans Pelicans
Sacramento Kings
Minnesota Timberwolves
Utah Jazz
Chicago Bulls
Orlando Magic
