Syracuse Basketball: Tyus Battle's Role Now That Malachi Is Gone

The incoming freshman's role for next season changed a few days ago with Malachi Richardson officially deciding to keep himself in the NBA Draft. So, what does Tyus think his role will look like with no Mali on the team?

Remember two years ago, when Kaleb Joseph showed up as a freshman and started 30 of 31 games for the Syracuse Orange at point guard? Do you also remember that Joseph was supposed to be the backup that year, playing minimal minutes and learning from his more experienced point guard teammate, Tyler Ennis?

Well, Ennis unexpectedly had a fantastic freshman season for the Orange, leading the team to a 25-0 start.
