Syracuse men’s basketball’s NBA Draft drought likely to continue

The NBA Draft is tomorrow and Syracuse Orange fans won’t be glued to their television with hopes of hearing any former Orange have their names called by Adam Silver. Will Cole Swider or Buddy Boeheim sneak into the late second round? While it’s unlikely they do, both players are generating interest and should find themselves with opportunities to earn a two-way contract at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

The Orange haven’t produced a first-round pick since Tyler Lydon in 2017 and Elijah Hughes in 2020 is the last second-round pick.
