Junior guard Buddy Boeheim has been the offensive catalyst for Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament, but the 11th-seeded Orange likely wouldn’t be in the Sweet 16 without the all-around superlative play of senior Marek Dolezaj. Orange coach Jim Boeheim calls the slender Slovakian “one of the most underrated players in the country.” In NCAA Tournament wins over San Diego State and West Virginia in the Midwest Region, Dolezaj has scored 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, registered five assists in each game, and snared 10 rebounds. Willing to take a charge from anybody for the good of the team, Dolezaj’s value goes far beyond his solid stat sheet.
