Scoop Jardine, G, 6-2, 195, Syracuse, Senior—New Yorkers know Scoop Jardine well, as the Orange traditionally have a big following in the city. But while he does have good size (6-3 with shoes and a 6-5 wingspan), the Philadelphia native isn't the most athletic player in the draft, and might not be taken in June's draft. Jardine isn't slow and his improved physique has given him deceptive quickness. He made 37.9 percent of his 3-point attempts as a senior, which was a major improvement from his freshman season (27.8 percent). Unfortunately, Jardine's free throw percentage plummeted to 55.1 percent in 2011-2012. In fact, he shot 82.9 percent from the line as a freshman and that number dropped to 75 percent as a sophomore and then to 66.4 percent as a junior, so that is a troubling trend. Jardine never averaged more than 12.5 ppg in any season (that came as a junior), so he's looked at as a pass-first point guard.

After standout season, Syracuse looks to build on elite status to advance farther in 2013

Coming in to the tournament as the No. 3 seed, the Sun Devils easily dispatching LIU Brooklyn to open Tempe region play, ASU locked horns with Syracuse in what turned out to be a three-game battle. ASU squeaked past the Orange on Saturday, but were shutout by Syracuse ace Jenna Caira on Sunday afternoon, sending the region title to a deciding third game. Thankfully, ASU pitcher Dallas Escobedo tossed a shutout to keep the Sun Devils on track for a repeat.
