These stats are part of the reason why I was never crazy about him, and why he didn't have a career in the NBA
I think it also had to do with the fact he was an undersized shooting guard and he couldn't play the point. I remember he was in Clippers camp after his senior season and they were having him play the point. Troy Bell of BC had the same problem, and he is also one of the all time leading Big East scorers.

Never crazy about Hatten?? Seriously?? First time I have ever heard a SJU fan say that... He was the only good thing Jarvis ever did for us... Hatten didn't make the NBA because he was a shooting guard and barely 6'1... he tried to convert to a PG but he was a shooter by blood.... He led the Israeli league in scoring and averaged over 20 a game in the Italian League.
I personally believe he would have had a fine NBA career, certainly not an All Star but definitely a serviceable player...

Harrison is a headcase & claiming to be a better shooter than Mullin proves Im right haha whoever deleted my post of that title!

I never thought of Hatten as a guy who could get us to the NCAAs (and he didn't). I think that's a good indication that while he provided us with some great moments (the 40+ game vs. Rutgers was as agood a performance as any Redmen in terms of explosive outburst). But he wasn't an undersized shooting guard, He was a shooting guard who couldn't shoot well. He was more of a scorer than a shooter. Great shooters with ample quickness are welcomed in the NBA if they can handle the ball. Hatten could score at the college level (without much efficiency in terms of shooting percentage), but not enough to make anyone think he could play in the NBA. I think for old timers, Kevin Cluess was much closer to being an NBA player, and for several years was a taxi squad player, always being just outside of making a roster.

Guys who continue to get better, and especially those who end up in NBA, are the ones who work incredibly hard all the time. It's up to DH how good he gonna get in all parts of his game. You guys think he got what it takes to put in the work required? Getting to NBA sure no accident.

The way Gtown keyed on Mullin and Berry in the final four and dared anyone else to beat us, Even if a three was worth four points we wouldn't have beaten them.
On topic.. when Harrison doesn't force the issue, he is super solid... take out 3-4 ill advised shots tonight, and he played an A game, head up, moves the ball, stuck open jumpers.. He's just gotta always be conscious that when he passes the ball instead of hoisting up a bad shot, he will likely get it back when open on the same possession

Reality is no player in St John's history is in Mullin's class as a player...Mullin was great from day 1 in a St John's jersey. He was a 3 time BE Player of the Year, sharing his senior year with Ewing. Wooden Award winner in 85.
Hatten and Hardy had a flair for spectacular in their games that erupted at crucial times..Both, we're all quicker than Harrison and could beat their defender off the dribble..
And, their on Court leadership was evident.. Harrison isn't as consistent yet and his leadership is still in progress. Hopefully with Maturity it will come.
