Melvin Council Jr. transferring: 5 possible landing spots
Syracuse Orange
Syracuse is just over an hour from where Council Jr. grew up in Rochester, making the Orange one of the most likely landing spots on this list. Not only is the location a fit, but Council Jr. could have the opportunity to make a big impact with where Syracuse鈥檚 roster sits currently. The Orange had a respectable 20-win season in 2023-24 led by a talented core of sophomore guards. However, several players from that group are on the move including leading scorer Judah Mintz, Quadir Copeland and Justin Taylor. Syracuse should return JJ Starling, but the losses take away three of the team鈥檚 top seven scorers from this past season. Council Jr. could certainly help replace that lost production and would form an exciting pairing with Starling in the backcourt.
