Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim attempted to clarify his comments on Duke freshman Jalen Johnson this weekend, but it only created more questions.
Boeheim addressed Johnson's decision to not play the rest of the season by blasting his contributions, or lack thereof, on his weekly radio show Thursday. It drew criticism from the men's college basketball sphere, so he tried to explain his evaluation in a four-minute statement after the Orange's comeback win over Notre Dame on Saturday.
The big takeaway is that Boeheim hasn't actually seen Johnson, a projected first-round pick in the 2021 NBA draft, play for the Blue Devils this season.
