How could Greene possibly not start?

Maybe we can pay someone to put sugar in his gas tank. Bah dum bum.

Of course he'll start, but hopefully not at PG.

Are you saying that if DLO comes back Phil will start over him?

I'd be surprised if DH comes back. I'll be more surprised if PG doesn't start, regardless. He's played 35 minutes a year for two years come hell or 5 for 17 shooting. I don't see how that changes. I don't even have a problem with it, as I assume next year he'll be better next year than this. He's not a PG though and if he's ours next year that's bad.

Still don't get why so many people are just assuming DH won't be back. Every indication is that he WILL come back, and there is plenty of evidence for that. There is zero evidence that he may leave.

  There is zero evidence of anything really. Harrison is an emotional kid and no one knows how he will respond to being called out for behavior and being suspended .  The last indication we got from someone who actually speaks to him said that he had not made up his mind.

 There is certainly room for speculation on both sides.  He has to want to come back, buy into whatever Coach demands from him, and then Coach has to accept him back as well as his teammates... 

If I were Harrison I would either go pro ( Europe) or come back. If he tries to play professionally he would probably do ok money wise but little chance of NBA. If he comes back he Walks into a perfect situation. No sitting out a year. We clearly need his scoring. He can take any shot he wants. As a basketball fan I hate seeing players take bad shots. However his bad shots are better then some other guys good shots.

Lavin has said himself "if" Harrison comes back next year, so even Lavin doesn't know what Harrison will do.

Tony, team objective is for all our players to take good shots and be reasonably proficient. I don't believe having the go ahead to take bad shots is a reason for Harrison to come back. He will be much better served if Coach teaches him to play sound hoops and take good shots.The main issue on his return is for him to correct the things that precipitated his suspension. It's true that Coach gave Harrison a lot of freedom on what kind of shots he put up, but as team improves around him, he should be more selective, not less on what he throws up. I don't believe Coach ever gave him ok to just throw them up, and I don't think shot selection was the problem. All our guys have the ability to get good, and it would be nice to have Harrison along to help them.
