CHICAGO — Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim did not get invited to the NBA Draft Combine this week, but he sure put on a show during his last day of G League Elite Camp on Tuesday.
Boeheim, who measured at 6-foot-6 with shoes, shot 6-of-10 from deep and 7-of-13 overall en route to 20 points to lead his Team 4 to a 99-94 victory over Team 1 in front of the NBA personnel, who included ex-Lakers legend and current Clippers advisor Jerry West.
“Everyone is looking for shooting,” said one NBA scout in attendance. “He has a chance [to make an NBA team] because of his shooting. The defensive piece is where he will need to be solid.”
On Monday, Boeheim had shot 2-of-9 (all from deep) on the way to eight points.
Boeheim has worked out for Knicks, Kings and Warriors and made 71-of-80 (89%) from deep during his Knicks workout. He had a Pro Day Wednesday night in Chicago and has about 10 more team workouts scheduled.
Boeheim, who earned $150,000 in NIL money at Syracuse this past season, was the ACC’s leading scorer. He averaged 19.2 points, 3.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, all career highs.
