Syracuse Basketball: Boeheim’s Army provides legit pathway back to NBA

Over the past couple of years, the G-League and overseas have been some of the only pathways to get back into the NBA.

But this past summer, Boeheim’s Army has provided another avenue for former Syracuse basketball players to get a second chance.

The latest evidence of that came with the announcement that former Syracuse basketball player and Boeheim’s Army member BJ Johnson has signed a deal with the Orlando Magic. He joins another former Syracuse basketball star in Michael Carter-Williams. MCW seemed like his career was on the outs, but got a few 10-day contracts and made a run.
