In the interests of determining which Syracuse men's basketball player can lay claim to being the most unappreciated, or at least considered among the pantheon of unappreciated, I propose that we nominate Syracuse players that are completely and unabashedly unappreciated here.
Once nominations are gathered, we will invite the players to a Royal Rumble style wrestling match, with the last man standing earning the honor of most unappreciated, or we'll set up an online tournament with fan voting, whichever is easier.
To start off the nomination process, I nominate David Patrick.
David Patrick, hailing from Australia, was the backup point guard on the 1996 team that lost to an all-time great Kentucky team in the National Championship.
He is the all-time 3 point percentage leader in Syracuse history, making his only attempt.
His stats don't make any sense on David Patrick College Stats | College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com. Supposedly he played in 28 games and averaged 2.5 points per game... but only scored 24 points total in his career. It is a mathematical and statistical marvel.
He was an unselfish player, having tallied more assists (29) than points (24). He also made more free throws than total field goals.
Standing a monstrous 5-10, he is credited with zero blocked shots.
In short, David Patrick's individual and team accomplishments are incredible, and he is worthy of consideration as most unappreciated Orange.
