Syracuse sophomore point guard Kaleb Joseph will transfer, a source confirmed to The Daily Orange on Tuesday morning. He will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school.

After starting for the Orange and averaging 27.3 minutes per game during his freshman year, Joseph spent most of his time this past season on the bench as he played just six minutes per game and didn’t appear in a single game after Feb. 27.

Fifth-year senior Michael Gbinije took over for Joseph as SU’s starting point guard and played 37.9 minutes per game. When Gbinije subbed out or went back to playing his more natural forward position, freshman Frank Howard assumed the point guard role.

Joseph played in just six conference games this past season and averaged 0.8 points per game. As a freshman, he averaged 5.9 points and played in all 31 games. Before the season, head coach Jim Boeheim said, “Kaleb’s made the biggest offseason improvements physically of anybody that I can remember.”
