If we make a run this year and next year in the Big East and NIT/NCAA Harrison is going to end up awfully close to Mullin and Sealy. If he hadn't gotten himself suspended he would have had a pretty good chance of passing Mullin.
Based on his 3pt %, he might have scored more if he wasn't tempted to take 3's. His numbers may have been hurt by having the three point line.
Also, some of the guys on that list passed guys who played when there was no shot clock. Their scoring totals surpassed others who might have been better players but they played when there were fewer possessions.
The game changes and numbers will always be skewed as a result. You just have to take it as it is.
His three point % is close to his overall fg% at least this year and without the threat of the 3 where the defender has to come out and guard him he probably would be less of an offensive threat so I disagree with your assertion. believe DLo as has many others have been helped by the 3. Mullin still took many long jumpers even thou there wasn't a 3 so an extra point for all those shots would definitely helped his scoring totals.

I love Dlo but this team will be served best if he averages 15-17 next season with Jakaar, Rysheed and Opekpa all averaging double digits and players like PG having games like they did yesterday where he shot well while not holding the ball for long periods in a stagnant offense. Dlo does not have 40 games left to play in an SJU uniform, unless we make deep runs in the post season each of the next two seasons, which could be if we play in the NIT heaven forbid, so I don't see him getting 800 points.
He will be remembered much more favourably if we get to the Big Dance this season and next.
