Boeheim’s Army is back again this year for another chance at the $2 million cash prize in The Basketball Tournament. Led by former Syracuse basketball standouts ranging over a decade this squad may be better than ever before. Among this amazing group of stars is the one-year phenom, John Gillon.
Coming out of Colorado State, Gillon came to Syracuse basketball in 2016 as a transfer point guard for his graduate year. He was not highly thought of, or considered an NBA prospect, but he quickly earned the love of Syracuse fans everywhere.
His ability to drive the lane and get to the rim despite his 6-foot height (which looked much shorter on the court) and hit clutch outside shots in crunch time made him a player Syracuse fans will not soon forget.
