Congratulations to Cole Swider and Buddy Boeheim for playing in their first NBA games this past week and officially becoming NBA players. Both sharpshooters were considered by most to be longshots to play in the NBA, but they have now entered the NBA register. They are the 57th and 58th Orange basketball players to play in the NBA.
Swider played at Syracuse one season after transferring from Villanova. He would lead the Orange in three point percentage at 41% making 81 of 197 attempts, while also leading the team in rebounding with 6.8 rpg.
