For those Syracuse basketball fans who say Tyler Ennis made the wrong decision in the 2014 NBA Draft, you’re WRONG! Don’t get me wrong, I would’ve loved to see Ennis stay with the Orange and see how he develops over the subsequent years.
But let’s be honest with ourselves, he was never going to go higher than 18th overall. He capitalized on the 25-0 start to the season plus throw in the Pitt buzzer beater that will be remembered forever.
Ennis is another guy who has bounced around the league, currently on his fourth squad with the Los Angeles Lakers. But he has seemed to found his footing, over the last two years he has played in 76 games (the most in his career in back-to-back years).
He had one more year on his contract with the LA Lakers, but as most of you have seen he was released by the Lakers. Ennis is going to find a new home quickly, but his ceiling seems to be reserve point guard.
