Swider transferred in after playing three seasons at Villanova, including 17 starts. The question is what can he shoot over an entire season? Only 33 players in all of Division One shot 40 percent over last season while qualifying for the NCAA’s leaderboard (2.5 three-pointers made per game).Ĭole Swider – senior forward, 6’9”, 220 pounds That mark was higher than his overall 50.3 percent overall shooting mark in that time. Boeheim was scorching from long distance over the last six weeks of the season, hitting 56.2 percent of his three-point shots over a dozen games, evidence of his ability as a pure shooter.
Boeheim has taken over eight treys per game in the last two seasons, but added more diversity to his game over the years, including lifting his assist mark to 2.6 per game last season. Perhaps most impressively, Boeheim has improved his three-point shooting as his offensive workload has increased, as evidenced by his percentage rising from 35.3 to 37.0 to 38.3 percent. In two seasons as a starter, Buddy Boeheim has turned into a top option for the Syracuse offense, averaging 16.4 points per game in that time. If he is able to shoot that well on the perimeter this season, Boeheim will be able to help open things up for the entire Orange offense.īuddy Boeheim – senior guard, 6’6”, 195 pounds Jimmy Boeheim was a 29.8 percent shooter from three in his time at Cornell, but his season-high mark was connecting on 35.0 percent of his attempts from deep as a sophomore. While being the number one offensive option for Cornell, Jimmy was third on the team in assists at 1.9 per game. In just over 30 minutes per game, he averaged 16.7 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Big Red in the 2019-2020 season, leading the team in both categories. A bigger, more well-rounded player than his brother, Jimmy Boeheim looks to slot in at one of the starting forward spots. Jimmy Boeheim spent last season not playing when the Ivy League canceled winter sports, but transferred to Syracuse to use his last season of eligibility.
