Nice job, Ted.

23

Syracuse Orange
Another season, another point guard for the Orange. After Michael Carter-Williams starred in 2012-13 before bolting to the NBA after his sophomore season, and Trey Ennis did the same after his freshman campaign a year ago, the job – and the Orange’s hopes – will now likely fall to another freshman, Kaleb Joseph, the nation’s No. 46 recruit according to . Junior Michael Gbinijie might also see time at the point as Joseph gets acclimated. Jim Boeheim also must replace leading scorer C.J. Fair, who graduated, and forward Jerami Grant, who left early for the NBA. Center Rakeem Christmas (5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds) and shooting guard Trevor Cooney (12.1 points) are the main holdovers from a year ago, and both will have to show marked improvement in their larger roles to keep Syracuse from falling to the middle of the pack of what should be a loaded ACC. -- Ted Keith

Ahhhhh, predictions. A lot of words to say "well, let's just see what happens now, shall we?"
