The man who could turn out to be the player of the year in the Big East Conference didn’t play a single basketball game last season.“For me, sitting on the sidelines was very tough. It got to me at times,” said Wesley Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 205-pound junior forward at Syracuse who transferred from Iowa State and then had to sit out a season per NCAA regulations.
“Starting two years and then coming to sit out knowing that you won’t be able to play throughout the season, you just have to get your mind knowing that you have to go out there and just practice.”
