Twenty five international players have played basketball for the Syracuse Orange. Clinton Goodwin, a 5’8” guard born to American missionaries in Calcutta was the first in line. Chino Obokoh, a reserve center for the Orange last season, is the latest in the line of international players.
Rony Seikaly is probably the greatest international player for the Orange. The 6’10” center helped power the Orangemen to the championship game in 1987. He was an outstanding shot blocker and rebounder, and by his senior year had developed into a strong offensive threat.
