An anomaly for this Syracuse season is the playing time for the starters; there's nobody playing a ton of minutes every game. Girard leads the team with 33.8 mpg. There are 14 players in the ACC with a higher usage rate.
Last season four Orange players averaged 34+ mpg: Buddy Boeheim 38.0, Cole Swider 34.5, Joe Girard 34.1, and Jimmy Boeheim 34.7.

2017-18 Tyus Battle 39.0
2016-17 Andrew White 37.2
2015-16 Michael Gbinije 37.9

2013-14 CJ Fair 37.8
2012-13 Michael Carter Williams 35.2
2011-12 Kris Joseph 32.2
You have to go back to 2011-12 with Kris Joseph to find the team leader with that low a minute per game usage.

Cooney was a good player, but it is surprising to see he basically never came out that season.
Cooney's playing time was probably a combination of a function that they didn't have another guard who could shoot, and Kaleb Joseph struggled to play so other guards played there.
