[I]Editor’s note: In late October, freshman forward Oshae Brissett told The Daily Orange: “Our freshmen, people don’t know how good we are.” Granted, no one knows just how good the four freshmen are yet, but in a four-part series this week, The D.O. tells you who they are.

One day this summer at the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, associate head coach Adrian Autry noticed his freshman forward was in the perfect spot during an offensive set. Then, days later, he saw Marek Dolezaj make the right pass. Then the Slovakian forward found the right spot again. And again. Months later, remembering these summer sessions, Autry laughed at how Dolezaj always seemed to appear in the right spot.

“(European players) are very disciplined in certain things,” Autry said. “You can see that stick out as opposed to a typical freshman from high school that’s athletic and can run.”

That’s just one of the reasons why SU head coach Jim Boeheim decided Dolezaj would be his first European recruit in the last 10 years. That the length of the 6-foot-9 forward fits into the 2-3 defensive scheme Syracuse runs doesn’t hurt either.[/I]
