Syracuse Basketball preseason player profiles: John Bol Ajak

As the start of the 2021-22 season for the Syracuse men’s basketball team draws closer, with their first exhibition game in just a mere 14 days, it’s important to highlight how each player suiting up for the Orange could make an impact in the upcoming season.

John Bol Ajak, a redshirt sophomore playing the center position, didn’t get the most playing time last season in Jim Boeheim’s rotation but has the tangible assets needed to make an impact when he takes the floor.

Standing at 6-foot-10 and 216-pounds with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, Ajak is a mismatch for any opposing center due to his slim frame and modern-day skill set for the center position.
