Syracuse men’s basketball: Buddy Boeheim and Cole Swider sign two-way NBA deals

While no Syracuse Orange players were selected in last night’s NBA Draft, two former players found themselves with two-way deals before sunrise here on the East Coast.

Buddy Boeheim lands with the Detroit Pistons as Jerami Grant departs. Pistons GM Troy Weaver is certainly familiar with Buddy from his time in Syracuse and now he hopes that Boeheim can supply perimeter shooting to compliment the Pistons rebuild. Detroit added Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duran during the draft as they continue to build around Cade Cunningham.

The Detroit Pistons have signed Buddy Boeheim, son of legendary Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, to a two-way contract, sources tell ESPN.
