Syracuse basketball 2023 target Matas Buzelis has an expanding recruitment.

At the top of the Syracuse basketball 2-3 zone, athletic and long guards are ideal, and 2023 prospect Matas Buzelis would fit into the Orange system extremely well.

The ‘Cuse coaching staff recently offered a scholarship to the 6-foot-8 sophomore out of the Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H. When we reported about this offer by the Orange, we noted that recruiting services often describe Buzelis as a shooting guard/small forward.

However, in this piece by 247Sports national analyst Dushawn London about Buzelis, the high-school player is thought of as a wing who moves and plays like a point guard.
