Here is my annual post on the top team Syracuse performers, (per game for minutes and per 40 minutes for the rest), in every category since 1982-83, (which how far back the numbers in the Media Guide go), as well as a "Dream Team".

COMMENTS:
Derrick Coleman was the most statistically productive player we’ve had since he showed up on campus. Only Billy Owens in his best year came close to the level of performance of Coleman in his last three years. It’s interesting that the most offensively efficient player in 24 seasons was Stevie Thompson, a 6-2 player with no jump shot and a terrible free throw shooter. Stevie avoided what he couldn’t do well and did what he did better than anyone- run the floor for dunks and lay-ups. He was a great finisher and so quick they couldn’t catch up with him to foul him. Lawrence Moten is #3. He was a player who kept moving for 40 minutes and didn’t care if a jump shot was a two pointer or a three pointer, as long as it was open. Both were surpassed by Eric Santifer in 1982-83. He was good at penetrating, working the baseline and could hit a medium range jumper. He also had Leo Rautins passing to him.
