Syracuse, N.Y. — If you've been distracted by the Syracuse basketball team's success over the past three weeks, you might have missed a significant step forward from former Syracuse star Tyler Ennis.

Ennis played in just 16 of the first 41 games for the Milwaukee Bucks but has gotten a significant opportunity late in the year due to a season-ending injury to Michael Carter-Williams.

Ennis, who would have been a junior with Syracuse this year, has scored in double-digits in five of the Bucks' past 13 games, along with games of 12 and eight assists.
