Here’s the Toronto Sun with an update on a talented young basketball player:
Canadian point guard Tyler Ennis is leaving Syracuse to enter the NBA draft.
“I’d like to thank Coach (Jim) Boeheim, the coaching staff, my teammates and the amazing fans of Syracuse for the opportunity to play at a great university like Syracuse,” said Ennis, a Brampton native, in a statement Thursday afternoon.
“I feel this experience has helped prepare me to fulfill my lifelong dream — to play in the NBA.”
Ennis, expected to be taken somewhere in the mid-late lottery, averaged 12.9 points, 5.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in his freshman season, which ended abruptly with a loss to Dayton early in the NCAA tournament in Buffalo.
