Syracuse’s Buddy Boeheim works out for 3 NBA teams, impresses at NBA G League Camp
By ADAM ZAGORIACHICAGO — 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.”
