The NBA continues to welcome Orange players in large numbers. According to Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders, former Syracuse forward Tyler Roberson will play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League. This news comes one day after Andrew White agreed to join the Cleveland Cavaliers’ squad for the summer.
Though he had his moments at Syracuse, his senior year numbers were far from eye-popping. In the eyes of an outsider, 5.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game elicits more than a few yawns. But his knack for defensive rebounding wasn’t ignored. In fact, it likely proved major factor in Milwaukee’s decision to add him to their Summer League roster.
