Which former Syracuse basketball players do the current Orange most resemble?

In his post-game remarks following Syracuse's win over Iona on Tuesday, Jim Boeheim compared current freshman Marek Dolezaj to former SU player Hakim Warrick. Boeheim wasn't saying Dolezaj was as good as the former Orange great. He invoked Warrick to argue against those who would say the 6-9, 180-pound Dolezaj will struggle this season because of his skinny frame.

Warrick, Boeheim said, weighed just 160 pounds as a freshman and "never weighed more than 180'' throughout his college career.

Boeheim's Dolezaj-Warrick comparison generated a discussion of which former Syracuse players do the current players most resemble in terms of physical appearance or style of play.
