Harrison

[redmannorth]

Before we put the kid down lets just remember that this was a kid raised by his grandmother whose brother is in jail on an attempted murder charge. He had a ton of options but came across country to win and win in a big fashion. The winning has yet to happen and for a player of Dlo's temperament the losses have to be terrible as he leaves it all on the floor each and every game. He expects everyone to play as hard as him.
Give the kid a break.

The kid who trots back on D expects the team to play as hard as he does?

This thread is like the theater of the absurd. There are comments that are pure speculation. That D Lo and Harrison have a father-son relationship. They have a Kung Fu Master and young Grasshopper relationship. That D Lo is calculating his points and steals in his head after each basket. That winning is all that matters. That he is reviewing his draft position (?) instead of focusing on defense. All I know for sure is that Lavin and D Lo have a coach-player relationship. If D Lo screws up, he will sit. If he misses a practice, he will sit. And so on. As for needing him to win? Just like Branch Rickey told Ralph Kiner during contract negotiations, SJU can finish 8th in the Big East with him, and 8th without him. D Lo can score the ball. No questions there. As for the NBA, I doubt many coaches are drooling over the thought of having guard that is not super athletic that shoots under 40% from the field and has maturity issues. plus, his form has been exposed. He already is an excellent college player. His numbers can improve when the pressure of being the go to guy is somewhat alleviated. But his game is already developed. I don't see the upside for major improvement. What holds him back is the cast around him, and whatever demons bring out the attitude problems.

His point total is in clear view in every arena.

I've seen him checking out his points all the time. Especially when he's approaching 20 points.

In fairness, I've seen Jakarr do the same on occasion.

Um he could have been looking at time on the clock.

This thread is honestly funnier than any game thread the day after.

Lets pick apart what every player has done wrong in another thread. Obekpa glared at Fordham player after dunking on him. Who cares about his 11 blocks. Next time he does that he needs to be benched. Phil hoists up shots too early in the shot clock. Next time he does that he should sit too. Dom dribbles into triple teams.

Wanna keep going?

Harrison and Sampson are bottom line the only two players really who are legitimate threat with the ball in their hands. He was off last night. His last 2-3 games have been helter skelter. He is still shooting better from the floor than last year. Close to 90% from the line so yea I would yell at Karr for not getting him the ball (though you all think he's trying to pad stats).

 

[LINY89]

If we removed Harrison from this team, all the posters bashing him would be missing him big time. Let's just go to our stud tree that we planted outside CA and pick another 20 PPG pure shooter who can hit 3's from Suffolk County and carry a team in scoring nearly every game. WRONG! There is no such tree. Without him we have 2 or 3 wins right now. Is that really what you guys want? The next main scorer we have is Sampson and when his short jumpers don't drop he is lucky to have 8 points.

No? Are you sure he was directing this at Lavin rather than the refs?

He was face to face with Lavin and his hand was about a foot or less from Lavin's face. It's the 3:25 timeout in the second half.

Why did Lavin not bench his @ss right there???

 

[LINY89]

Wouldn't be surprised if some found a way to criticize the way Harrison brushes his teeth or ties his shoes. "Damnit! He's brushing across when it's supposed to be up down! Let's bench this cancer!".

 

[DieHard Johnny]

DLo plays with emotion. You guys are making way too much of it.

There is simply no excuse for putting your finger in the coach's face. That was a disgusting display by D'Angelo.

is there a video or photo of this??

Lavin needs to grow a pair asap sounds like Rex W Santonio

I saw it...I tried to record it and post on here but apparently I didn't press the button when I thought I did and missed it. Anyway, I got a good look at it and it lasted all of 5 seconds. Wasn't aggressive at all and really not that big a deal. A good thing? No. A destructive thing? Also no. If you watched it you would realize this is completely sensationalized.

It's not hard to tell when a player is scoreboard watching. And as I mentioned, Jakarr has done the same.

But this is a place where our players can do no wrong (not saying it's a terrible thing). D'Angelo clearly is above criticism. I'm sure he'd be happy going scoreless as long as we win the game, right.

How do you know they are looking at their stats???? I mean come on. Your reaching. Big time.

We wont ever come close to winning a game where he's scoreless. One of the CA game this year we played like crap in the 1st half and he had 2 pts and wasn't even looking for his shot. He went off in the 2nd half and scored over 20 for the game. We won. As Dee goes, we go.

 

[mjmaherjr]

I didn't see the game and didnt see the clip. If he was yelling at Lavin no excuse for that.

If he was yelling at a teammate for not getting him the ball at the end of the game or something like that someone mentioned I dont have a problem with that because if I was going to pick one person I'd want on the foul line in the last 10 years it would be Hardy then him

 

[simplyred]

That smile that Lavin cracked last night wasn't a smile of endearment. I think it was more of embarrassment and trying to remain calm.

You know this for a fact?

No. Do you know otherwise?

How would you react if a player stuck his finger at you at MSG?

I was being facetious with the scoreless comment. My point is that he strikes me as the type of player that may hang his head if he doesn't get his points.

You really think he has no idea how many points he has and just ignores his numbers that are right there during the game.

Interpret? LOL

That awkward look on his face was a smile to you? Ok.

I'm off that. You're right. D'Angelo was pointing at Lavin's chest hair.

You win.

Half the time our scoreboard has the wrong people in the game

I think your comment was a little short sighted. He could be looking at tons of things but you made him out to seem selfish when meanwhile stats show he is taking 2 more shots a game but shooting much higher from field. And frankly a guy shooting upwards of 85-90 from the line should be looking for more shots in my book.
