Joseph ended up averaging 27 for the season but dipped to 23.5 in conference play. What does the model have to say for 2015-2016? Despite the limited roster caused by early departures and transfers, it is not optimistic for freshmen playing a starring role: Richardson: 13.7 projected Diagne: 11.6 projected Howard: 3.8 projected Lydon: 7.5 projected Perhaps most surprising is that the McDonald’s All American Malachi Richardson is projected to play less than 15 minutes per game. However, when you look at the numbers, it’s easy to see why. Despite his pedigree, Richardson is hardly the 6th-best ranked freshman to come to Syracuse in the last five years. He is outranked by Rakeem Christmas (#21), Michael Carter-Williams (#25), Dajuan Coleman (#18), Tyler Ennis (#23), and Chris McCullough (#19). He might belong in this echelon, but he will have to prove the high school scouts wrong. ...[/I] [B] [IMG]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1PQpl6wTj7M/maxresdefault.jpg[/IMG] [URL='http://usatodayhss.com/2015/rosters-set-as-elite-basketball-recruits-to-square-off-at-elite-24']Trevon Duval to Play in Elite 24 Saturday in Brooklyn (ustodayhss.com; staff)[/URL] [/B] [I]Josh Jackson, whom many consider the No. 1 player in the Class of 2016, and DeAndre Ayton, the consensus No. 1 player in the Class of 2017, will be teammates at the 10th edition of the Under Armour Elite 24 on Saturday in Brooklyn.
