Syracuse men’s basketball preseason player profiles: Joe Girard III

It remains to be seen when the Syracuse Orange basketball season will tip off after Jim Boeheim’s positive coronavirus test, but that doesn’t mean we can stop previewing the 2020-21 squad. James took a look at Buddy Boeheim on Tuesday, and today I profile his partner at the other guard position in Joseph Girard III.

The Glens Falls, N.Y. native made a name for himself in high school when he became the state’s all-time leading high school scorer as a junior. His 4,763 career points is good enough for 10th place on the National Federation of High Schools’ all-time list.
