Syracuse Orange
One of four Hall of Fame coaches in this league, Jim Boeheim delivered an outstanding class of athletes who have the length and bounce to be bothersome in his trademark zone defense. As the No. 4 recruiting class, this foursome can score the ball inside. Malachi Richardson (No. 19) has the DNA of a big-time shooting guard with a long, lanky frame and a deep shooter's touch. Center Moustapha Diagne (No. 48) plays with passion and finishes well at the rim with his powerful build. He can also play positional defense or block a shot. Tyler Lydon (No. 49) is a skilled stretch forward with good bounce and length, and guard Franklin Howard (No. 74), who is back from ACL surgery, can drive and finish plays.
