Syracuse basketball shooting guard Buddy Boeheim struggled a bit at times during a 2020-21 season in which he, unfortunately, contracted Covid-19.

However, the 6-foot-6 Boeheim finished that term on a super high note, playing at an exceptional level in the post-season as he helped lead the double-digit seeded Orange on a journey to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

His late-season performance resulted in some NBA Draft buzz for Boeheim, although he’s back for his senior year on the Hill, joined by brother Jimmy Boeheim and a cast of other talented players in what could prove a special 2021-22 campaign.
