Judah Jah Leone Mintz (born July 10, 2003) is an American professional basketball athlete currently playing for the Delaware Blue Coats in the NBA G League. He previously competed at the collegiate level with the Syracuse Orange.
Early life and high school
Hailing from Fort Washington, Maryland, Mintz attended Gonzaga College High School, where he posted averages of nine points per game during his sophomore year and increased to 16 points per game as a junior. Prior to his senior season, he transferred to Oak Hill Academy, achieving an average of 16.8 points per game and securing second-team honors in the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference.
Considered a four-star recruit in college basketball recruiting rankings, Mintz initially committed to the Pittsburgh Panthers program but later reversed this decision and ultimately signed with the Syracuse Orange.
College career
Mintz began his freshman year at Syracuse as a starting guard, earning recognition on the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) All-Freshman team. He averaged 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 1.8 steals each game. After the conclusion of the season, he declared for the 2023 NBA draft while retaining his college eligibility but subsequently withdrew to continue playing at Syracuse for his sophomore season.
On April 11, 2024, Mintz announced his entry into the 2024 NBA draft, choosing to forgo any remaining eligibility in collegiate basketball.
