Believe that you have to be practical and realize that transfers are looking for a place where they can have playing time to demonstrate their abilities. At the guard position, Syracuse potentially have Judah Mintz and JJ Starling as the probable starters with currently Copeland and JT backing them up.  If Judah comes back (which we all hope he does) then he and Starling will each have 30-35 minutes leaving JT and Quadir ea 5-10 minutes of playing time. Would a highly regarded guard from the transfer portal come in for such a little amount of playing time (JT would have to move to SF)?

A transfer like Chance Westry who is still unproven could find time as a SF as a 3rd guard in a 3 guard line up. Otherwise, he will have to compete with JT, Chris Bell, Benny Williams for time at SF.

Syracuse is weak at the PF/C where Malik Brown, Benny Williams, Peter Carey, Hima and William Patterson will compete. Patterson is an unknown that may be a project. Carey has not played in the last two years due to injury. Hima has defensive abilities but offensive is limited to put basis.  A lot of hope is based on Benny, however hope is not a strategy.  Malik has a good motor and can rebound but have not seen much of an offensive game.

We could use a good rebounder from the portal that can score.
