Grade: A+

Andrew White III was a blessing this year for Syracuse Basketball. Coming into the year, many thought he’d be a bad influence on the locker room, and a big ego on the court. Fans and coaches alike knew he is someone who needs the ball in his hands and always wants to score.

Syracuse though only got half that package. They got a player this year who could score at will, and kept the Orange in games. He left his ego at the door, for the benefit of the team, and it paid off. He was one of the best players in the ACC and even broke Gerry McNamara’s 3 point Single-Season Three’s record. Check out my article here at ITLH that I wrote on this last week.

Andrew White earned his A+ this year in more ways than one. I do not have a grade for him for next year as he college eligibility is up, but I do expect he’ll have a decent pro career either way.
