I am sure you can remember the marathon game Syracuse played a few years ago against Connecticut. At the end of regulation the man above, Eric Devendorf, hit the game winning shot and hopped on the scorer's table celebrating. A few minutes later the shot would be called off because it was released a few tenths of a second too late.In the early morning hours of the next day Syracuse would eventually take the win.
Now Devendorf is what we here like to call a Syracuse Pro. In 2010 he played briefly in the New Zealand National Basketball League. He scored 49 points in his season debut.
Nowadays, you can find him in a Reno Bighorns jersey of the National Basketball Developmental League. He has had a decent season coming off the bench averaging 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and .9 assists per game. His best game of the year was against Iowa on December 30th when he had 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.
One glaring stat for Devendorf is his efficiency, a stat which measures the total point differential that the team averages when the particular player is in the game. Devendorf's efficiency is a +6.96, a very impressive number for a player off of the bench.
The next game for the Bighorns will be against Bakersfield on March 3rd, the first game after the NBDL All-Star break. Continue to check back with Syracuse Pros for updates throughout the NBDL season.
