## Resource

Syracuse Orange basketball face pivotal questions at guard—can Garwey Dual’s elite defense and Gavin Doty’s scoring power overcome a lack of reliable outside shooting? With Kiyan Anthony seeking a breakout season and uncertainty around Ryan Moesch’s role, the Orange’s backcourt depth and floor spacing are under the microscope as the roster nears completion. Jackson Holzer breaks down Syracuse’s guard rotation, the impact of missing a true backup point guard, and the urgency for Gerry McNamara to fill remaining roster spots. Key topics include Doty’s scoring efficiency, Anthony’s shooting improvement, and the prospect of adding another guard via transfer, reclassification, or unconventional recruiting. How will McNamara address the Orange’s vulnerabilities—and is Syracuse’s backcourt strong enough for a run in the ACC?
