Former Syracuse basketball star and NBA role player Tyler Ennis is making a case for an NBA return in the G-League. Last month, Ennis signed a contract with the Toronto Raptors, was immediately waived, and has since dominated as an affiliate player with the reigning champs’ G-League team: Raptors 905.
Ennis, who was born in Brampton, Ontario played promising basketball at Saint Benedict’s Prep in New Jersey. Ahead of his senior-year commitment to play for Syracuse, Ennis was named the Gatorade New Jersey Player of the year as a Junior, averaging over 14 points and seven assists per game.
