No carmine, Phil has been what his percentages this season dictate he's been: a poor shooter. Or taking bad shots. But yes, his 3 minutes vs Cuse has overshadowed this. He's been pretty poor all year. It's more like his good games have been aberrations and flashes in the pan, not the other way around. His foot-on-the-line shots have been awful and those need to stop. I certainly want him on the floor more than Felix and would rather have Phil at the 3 than Dom at the 3, but we need to stop being delusional about what Phil has shown to be. The staff should sit Phil after taking these off-balance long 2s off the bounce just like they bench Branch and Rysheed for mental lapses. We need to get D'Lo to take more of the shots that Phil has been getting.
4 minutes and 4 seconds against Syracuse! Not 3 minutes! He hit the first three of his historic barrage at the 4:08 mark and converted 2 free throws at the :04 second mark.
He had good games against Franklin Pierce, Fairleigh Dickinson, the second half of the LBI game, a huge rebound and 1 and 1 convert with 13 seconds left against St. Mary plus he was clearly the player of the game against aforementioned Syracuse as well as Gonzaga. If to you that's "pretty poor all year", than so be it.
I don't see how anybody could look at our roster and come to the conclusion that Mean Joe shouldn't be playing 30+ a night. I really don't. Neither does Hollywood.
I'm all for Harrington getting more shots...but I don't think Triangle taking less shots necessarily translates to significantly more shots for 3'lo.
