On many occasions throughout the 2020-21 campaign, a large contingent of Syracuse basketball fans has taken to social media to voice displeasure with the Orange’s starting backcourt of sophomore Joe Girard III and junior Buddy Boeheim.

At the same time, some of these fans, understandably so, have opined that freshman combo guard Kadary Richmond should get inserted into the starting line-up, displacing either point guard Girard or shooting guard Boeheim.

I always respect my fellow ‘Cuse fanatics, and Richmond has proven tremendous in a bunch of games during the current term.
