When Tyus Battle first arrived at Syracuse, he started off as a third wheel in 2016-17. Battle was third on the team in scoring as a freshman (11.3 points per game) and his shining moment was a buzzer beater vs Clemson.
But he was so buried on the team with so much other talent:
- Andrew White III
- Broke the single season three point record and played in the NBA.
- Tyler Lydon
- Future first round pick in the NBA Draft
- Taurean Thompson
- Talented offensive forward, eventually transferred to Seton Hall.
