Syracuse basketball shooting guard Buddy Boeheim had a solid freshman campaign, but what he achieved as a sophomore took some Orange fanatics, myself included, by surprise.
The 6-foot-6 Boeheim showcased a much more complete offensive repertoire during the 2019-20 term. Beyond his natural talent as a 3-point specialist, Boeheim exceled in the mid-range game, and he also displayed a keen sense to drive to the hoop and finish around the rim.
Does Boeheim need to improve in the 2-3 zone? Absolutely. Yet the same is true of virtually everyone on the ‘Cuse roster, as Syracuse struggled to get stops versus its opponents on defense.
