SPINGARN HS. PLAYERS
RANKED BEST
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
POINT GUARDS
EVER
ALL-MET ELITE
SHERMAN DOUGLAS
SPINGARN HS.
WASHINGTON D.C.
1. Dave Bing (1963-66)
Admittedly, Bing was more of a combo guard. Yet it’d be a mistake to remember him for just his prodigious scoring ability.
During his First Team All-American senior season in 1965-1966, Bing racked up 6.0 APG in addition to scoring 28.4 PPG (which still stands as the single-season school record). Moreover, Bing also grabbed 10.3 RPG for his career - an astonishing number in light of the fact that he was a 6-foot-3 guard.
Bing isn’t just the best point guard in Syracuse history, he’s also the greatest Orange player ever. Period.
2. Sherman Douglas (1985-1989)
Douglas was a product of the same Washington D.C. high school (Spingarn) that produced Dave Bing. Just like they did with Bing, the Orange struck it rich.
Had he not backed up Pearl Washington as a freshman, Douglas could’ve very well finished his career as the first player ever with over 2,000 points and 1,000 assists in a career (he finished with 2,060 and 960 respectively). His finishing ability and masterful running of the Orangemen fast break was what helped transform the program into a perennial Big East contender.
And all this from a player whose only scholarship offer came from Jim Boeheim.
