His number will be hanging in the rafters. Thanks DLo and all of the seniors.

Harrison and all these outgoing seniors are terrific kids and everyone here should be wishing them the best in all their future endeavors

D'Angelo Harrison

The Skills- Despite a nagging calf strain, Harrison manages to get points inside (6.6 FTs) and out (two treys a night), averaging 18.6 ppt. The 6 ft 4 senior can score on anyone, but he does his best work and causes defenses the most dread- when someone sets him up. Harrison is one of the top spot up shooters in the country, averaging 1.18 points per play.

Spot up shooting percentage- 48.8%

The Outlook- the problem for Harrison and SJU is that his teammates struggle to create for him. PG Rysheed Jordan has more turnovers (65) than assists (60). Overall the Red Storm assist on just 48.2 percent of made baskets, 273rd in the country. They still have it in them to make the tourney but that run must start with getting a healthy Harrison the ball.

It's not his teammates. It's the system.

When have we ever called a play for D'Lo to come off a screen?

 

[Rochester Redmen]

Seniors thank you it was a pleasure to watch you play. Best of luck in your future endeavors, . Appreciate your dedication to SJU you guys got class !

 

[TX Redman]

D'Lo's positive transformation has been remarkable. There were many games over the last few years when he was near unstoppable and carried the team. He fought through injuries and personal problems and his passion for the game is beyond reproach. It was tough seeing him draped in the towel at the end of the SDSU game. Rough way to go out for him and the other Seniors.

D'Lo seems to have built a special bond with Lavin, clearly evident by his words in the post-game press conference. Be interesting to see where he ends up. We can only wish him all the best and thank him for all the excitement he brought to our team. It was a great ride. Thanks D'Lo.

I don't know what some people are watching. I mean, I think they believe that it's like in the schoolyard, where someone sets a pick and a lazy defender is sitting behind it so you can just shoot. SJU runs a simple offense based on high screens and cuts and motion. Unfortunately with a playing rotation of 6, guys get a little tired and stood around too much.

The offense is meant to get any open player a shot. That is not the same as D'Lo being freed up to catch and shoot.

He's a great shooter and I believe he would've shot a much higher % if he didn't have to handle the ball himself so much.

He had more shots than any one else on the team. He actually played better earlier in the year when he was injury free and more patient. I will say this, this team never fed the hot hand. It's all history now. Chapter closed, rear view mirror, put the balls away.

Yes and simple screens are not the same as a pick and pop offense which frees up shooters.

Our offense is meant to free up the ball handler.

We finished 7th in the conference is assists for a reason.

PGIV played the equivalent of a SF which is why he was often relegated to the corner baseline for shots and rarely handled the ball. D'Lo would've killed it from there.

Coming off a high screen as a ball handler is not the equivalent of a guy coming off a screen ready to receive a pass.

I was responding to a post which stated how good of a spot up shooter he is.

Is it off topic or something?

# of shots doesn't mean a player is put in the best position to be effective.

But I'll let you moderate from here on out..

His number will be hanging in the rafters. Thanks DLo and all of the seniors.

Well deserved, but at the rate the administration has been adding new jerseys to those already hanging in the rafters -- zero in nine years -- I wouldn't hold my breath.

Look at how long it took for them to put Mullin in the SJU Hall of Fame.

Who do you think should have been added during the past 9 years?

That sounds like the scouting report of a guy who an NBA team will take a chance on.

This has been discussed many times before. But off the top of my head, George Johnson, Leroy Ellis, Mel Davis, John Warren, and Bob Zawoluk immediately come to mind.

Now back to DLo.

You can comment on any thing you'd like, but don't get insulted when someone doesn't agree with you. I wasn't saying you couldn't comment on it, I was saying that it's all history now. The season's over, and Harrison is gone. Since Whitesell is the offensive asst coach, I'm sure if you write to him, he'd agree you know a lot more than he does.

That is fair, but there was literally hundreds of times where dlo would receive off the ball screens. Whether or not they were consistently effective is another question.
