Last season, Syracuse Orange guards Tyus Battle and Frank Howard ranked first and second. Together they were the very best in the nation and ipso facto, the ACC.
In minutes played, that is.
By now you’re well aware of that as it was talked and written about ad nauseam. Tyus and Frank logged a total of 1443 and 1423 minutes respectively last season (39.0 and 38.4 mpg), appearing in all 37 contests for Jim Boeheim.
In this upcoming 2018-2019 season, the now upperclassmen figure to log their fair share of respective minutes, but with reserves in the fold and Howard Washington healthy, Tyus and Frank won’t be the only two scholarship guards available — total minutes should come down just a shade.
