Syracuse Orange men’s basketball’s freshman point guard Jalen Carey is special. It might not show up in the box score every night, but Carey is a gamer. He attacks the rim hard and pitches off no-look passes on offense, while challenging opposing players with his length and tenacity on the defense.
The Harlem-native broke out at Madison Square Garden on November 15 when he poured in 26 points to go with 7 rebounds and 3 steals against UConn. He also played well the following night in a loss to Oregon where he totaled 14 points and 3 steals.
