As the Syracuse Orange seem to be finding a rhythm, one of the keys has been the bench minutes provided by Howard Washington since January 1. The redshirt sophomore is only averaging 1.7 points per game on the season, but he’s been able to make an impact in his time on the floor.
How does a player provide a lift when they’ve only contributed four points, four rebounds, seven assists and four steals over a five-game stretch? Well there’s something to be said about Washington’s steady presence at the top of the zone, and his ability to keep the ball moving on offense.
