Judah Mintz was one of the more electrifying freshman at Syracuse for quite a while. He struggled at times with playing under control and learning his playmaking responsibilities, but there was no doubting his ability to beat defenders off the ball and get to the basket. Mintz led the team with 4.6 assists per game and was second in scoring with 16.3 points per game.
Mintz 521 points was the sixth most ever scored by an Orange freshman. His 16.3 ppg was the fourth best by an Orange freshman, trailing only Carmelo Anthony, Lawrence Moten, and Donte' Greene.
While Mintz did struggle with playmaking at times, he still had 148 assists, good enough for eighth on the Orange frosh list. His 139 free throws were fourth on the all time list, and his 59 steals was good enough for seventh.
Mintz lead the team in scoring 11 different times, with a season high 24 points in a win over Monmouth and also in the home loss to Pittsburgh.
