Harrison suspended rest of the year

Just read the article. Why was it written? It's may, we don't get coverage like that during the season. It also didn't really say anything new

Thought he played pretty well

 One thing we can all see with Harrison is that he is a volatile kid, both in playing style and attitude.   Like the article said, this is a fluid situation.  Everything can be fine one minute and then all of a sudden change.  That's the impression i get.  I hope it works out, but I won't feel 100% confident until he is in class in the fall.

Non conference yes.  Big east play was a diff story.  I'm very happy that he is coming back, love his talent but he has to take better shots next year. 

Hes a better shooter than his numbers indicate, problem is he takes a lot of bad shots, and its not all his fault.

He shot below 35% from field and below 30% from 3 during big east play.  That wont cut it in when your taking the most shots. 

Ill reiterate, we really need this guy. He's tremendously talented, my big problem is he can do a lot better. I just have a problem when he takes NBA threes one pass into the half court offense with 28 on the shot clock.  Im hoping the coaches take off the "emerald green light" until proven otherwise and also the fast break three. Much rather have him be more aggressive and draw fouls, which he's great at.   

I am also optimistic Jordan can be a perpetrator to draw the d and give him better looks.  He hasnt had much help so far.

Not talking about the quality of his play. It is my understanding that Lucas works with troubled youths and people with addictions in a sort of rehab environment as John Lucas himself battled drugs addiction. My statement of hoping for better results stems from the fact that Dlo wound up suspended from the team last season.

Your understanding is incorrect. "Harrison, as reported by The Post, spent a couple of weeks last summer at the John Lucas camp." John Lucas pre-draft camp is "developed for those top tier college athletes who are preparing for performance on the professional level." So to recap, Harrison went to summer camp, he's not a troubled junkie.

On top of his pre-draft Lucas does do work with "troubled" kids. He doesn't advertise this work but he has kids with varying issues sent down to him every Summer.

Yes, everyone know what he does. The point is, does this sound like a description of a junkie or a troubled kid?

"Harrison ... spent a couple of weeks ... at ... camp."

It sounds like summer vacation to me. It couldn't be more innocuous. Meatballs was more ominous.

You have evidence that Harrison's attendance was anything other than routine? Present it. Otherwise this is just more slander.

First  -  I didn't mean to reply to your post, it was not a comment meant to reply to what you said. I clicked on quote function of wrong post.

I was trying to affirm what Celtics11 said about Lucas doing work with troubled kids because he does do a lot of it every year outide of his pre-draft camp.

Plenty of kids, especially locals kids, with no "problems" go work with Lucas every Summer.

I didn't mean to infer that Harrison was there for any other reason besides working on his game.

It is funny that if you question Lavin's coaching some people get all bent out of shape. If you notice that Phil Greene is directionally challenged and can't shoot certain people will say you are picking on the circle. However for some reason Harrison is fair game. I guess the tats and frohawk are not a big hit with the white, middle aged people on the board

You would not talk like that if you drank the great and powerful Koolaid. It has the same power as the blood of the Christ.

According to many here...he was a first round pick. 

Not sure about that.  Most just thought he wouldn't last because he can play in Europe and make more than most 4 yr college graduates.  I don't recall many or any people touting him as a 1st rd pick.

The lead guard BS over the summer and fall was an epic tire pumping.  He is a catch and shoot scorer with a minus attack game.  I was told several months ago there was some disappointment in Dee's lack of commitment to transform his body. 

Dee is going to be right there for POY in the conf.  This was something he needed to do for his game and he got it done

Really good stuff here at Dribble. Harrison says he's finally gotten a sense of the physical demands. He's lost a "ton of weight." #sjubb
