Over the years following Syracuse basketball, I’ve developed a shortlist of my all-time favorite Orange guys.
In no particular order, my favs include the likes of Pearl Washington, John Wallace, Gerry McNamara, Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Triche, CJ Fair, and Hakim Warrick.
Current junior guard Howard Washington, unquestionably, also resides on this list.
I don’t know Washington personally, but he seems like a total team-first player who emphatically cheers on his fellow ‘Cuse colleagues from the bench, who possesses a ton of integrity and perseverance, and who could absolutely coach down the road if his playing career doesn’t continue after college.
