Boy, that is great news. Best of luck to him!

Poor Otto Porter is about to get dunked on again.

That makes 11 former Orange players currently in the NBA (if you count Tyler Lydon).

C.J. Fair is everywhere ...

 

[rrlbees]

Good luck CJ!

CJ is one of my all time favorite Syracuse players.

Really hope he gets a shot at making the NBA.

 

[MSOrange]

Thrilled to see this. Hopefully he gets a real opportunity for some PT. Would have liked to see CJ get a chance sooner than this, but in some ways this might make it sweeter that he has put in so much time and worked so hard to make it happen.

 

[RF2044]

I understated it above -- I really, really, REALLY want him to at least get a cup of coffee in the NBA.

My opinion only, but I believe if he can get his foot in the door, he could carve out a multi-year career as a reserve. I can't think of a player I'd love to see in the NBA more than CJ.

Good luck to him!

Unreal that he's only getting a shot now. GMs will take a shot on a freshman can't can't dribble and chew gum at the same time, but one of the best players in the nation his senior year had to toil in the GLeague for years before he got a deal. I'm pulling for him. One of my favorite players of the last decade. Hope he can make the most of it and leave a good impression.

Lydon's cashing NBA checks. Why wouldn't he count?

Lydon's cashing NBA checks. Why wouldn't he count?

Because he's not currently on an NBA roster I don't think.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Because he's not currently on an NBA roster I don't think.

He's injured.

And cashing dem checks from the Nuggs.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

This makes me very happy. Was always a huge Fair fan.

 

[djorange1989]

Love seeing this and love being able to see him play every night on what is otherwise a dreadful team I never watch

 

[two3zone]

This makes me very happy. Was always a huge Fair fan.

Same here. He’s a guy who always just seemed to do well game in and game out, did things he was asked and was supposed to do. Very well deserved.

TANK NATION.

It's been a long time coming...CJ's worked so hard. Good luck.
That video gets me going...if I'm in a bad mood it wipes it away
