Congrats to D'Lo and Rysheed!

I think JaKarr playing better in the 2nd half has a lot to do with Rysheed's emergence. JaKarr hasn't shown a ton of ability to create his own shot or play one on one, but when given the ball in the right position, he's been extremely effective.

Excellent point.

If you accept that, and I do, then how would you react to those who said Harrison's bad shooting was due to him not being given the ball in places where he could be more effective, or those who say he is the only option to score?

I believe Jordan's presence has helped Harrison as well, but do wish he had another consistent scorer to complement him. With Sampson, being interior player with mid range game, I always felt he would benefit on pick and roll & flashes to foul line area having a PG with sense to know that. RJ seems to. I believe Harrison is just one of those streaky guys who sometimes goes cold, forces things a bit, but can score in bunches. Not perfect, but on this offensively challenged team I am happy to have him.

I agree 100% with your response. Thanks!

You are welcome.

Likewise.

I've been stating since last season (recall me and Moose talking about it in Charleston) that I wished we had another wing player who we could consistently count on for scoring.

This has got to be a huge motivational boost for Harrison. So well deserved on his behalf.

Jakarr got jobbed and he should be upset...He's in the argument for 2nd team over Edwin or Batts but he should definitely be on the honorable mention over Wragge

How about Hilliard? I would put him on the second team.
