J.J. STARLING NEWS

Struggles from field Starling supplied 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 101-95 OT loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Starling's final stat line was decent, all things considered, but he had a rough showing from the field and had a few costly mistakes throughout the contest. That won't change his status of being one of Syracuse's most reliable offensive players, though, so he should remain a player worth keeping close tabs on in fantasy.

Impact Though it wasn't the most efficient shooting day, particularly from distance, Starling still up up his fourth game of 25 points or greater of the 2025 calendar year.

Syracuse has struggled with a 5-9 ACC record, but Starling continues to be excellent down the stretch for a team that will have to steal a bid to go dancing.

Impact Sterling didn't play a single game in December due to a hand injury that sidelined him for seven contests, but he's been excellent when available. The junior guard has scored at least 20 points in his last two games, and he's also done it in four of his nine appearances this season.

Syracuse takes on the Cornell Big Red after JJ Starling scored 27 points in Syracuse's 79-74 loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders

NOVEMBER 27, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Extends impressive start to season Starling totaled 27 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 79-74 loss to Texas Tech.

Starling has been Syracuse's best player this season, at least from a scoring perspective. He's averaging 20.0 points per contest in his first four outings in 2024-25, although those numbers are a bit inflated due to the 38-point effort he delivered in the win over Youngstown State on Nov. 16.

Impact Starling had one of the best individual performances in the current 2024-25 season, and his contributions were pivotal as Syracuse got past Youngstown State after two overtime periods. Starling has scored in double digits in each of his three outings this season. Even though he's not going to hover around the 30-point mark every game, he should be one of Syracuse's most consistent offensive forces if he stays healthy.

During that span, Starling is averaging 18.4 points per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three-point range.
