Should 2022 five-star point guard Dior Johnson not play for Syracuse basketball, that could shift some things around in the team’s 2022 cycle.

Ever since 2022 five-star point guard Dior Johnson revealed this past February that he had committed to Syracuse basketball, some Orange fans have understandably feared that the elite prospect would never make it to the Hill, and head straight to the professional ranks instead.

Given recent developments surrounding Johnson, who has enrolled in a new high school on the West Coast but has still moved around a lot in recent years, it’s logical to think that he could potentially forgo college for the NBA’s G League, although this is pure speculation for now.
