Judah Mintz was one of the more electrifying freshman at Syracuse for quite a while. He struggled at times with playing under control and learning his playmaking responsibilities, but there was no doubting his ability to beat defenders off the ball and get to the basket. Mintz led the team with 4.6 assists per game and was second in scoring with 16.3 points per game.
Mintz 521 points was the sixth most ever scored by an Orange freshman. His 16.3 ppg was the fourth best by an Orange freshman, trailing only Carmelo Anthony, Lawrence Moten, and Donte' Greene.
