Syracuse Basketball: Adrian Autry thinks the ‘Cuse backcourt can be elite

First-year Syracuse basketball head coach Adrian Autry feels that his ‘Cuse backcourt in the upcoming campaign can be an excellent one, according to a national analyst.

In a tweet published on Monday afternoon, Stadium analyst Jeff Goodman wrote, “Syracuse coach Red Autry told me he’ll play a ton of man-to-man defense this season. Also feels as though his backcourt of Judah Mintz/JJ Starling can be elite.”

Now, in all fairness, the Orange backcourt extends beyond sophomore point guard Mintz and sophomore guard Starling, a Central New York native who transferred to the ‘Cuse from Notre Dame this off-season.
