Harrison will get 20.  But who can consistently give us 12 points after him?

His name is Phil Green the Fourth.  He's surpassed that figure in 4 of our last 5 contests, including 3 straight BE contests.  Don't you watch the games?

BTW, congrats to phil who scored his 1000th pt in the nova game. 1012 for his career

Ummmmmmm....  I watch the games, but I also know how to dissect the game, as well.  It takes Greene, as many shots to get that many points.  IMO, it kinda offset things a bit.  He tends to do pound the ball too much and take ill-advised shots.  He's also averaging nearly 12 ppg (11.8 ppg), while taking as many shots (11.9) per game.

D'Angelo Harrison is averaging 20.6 ppg on only 14 shots per outing.  He's maximizing possessions, if you ask me. 

There has been 8 games where Greene hasn't even attempted a FT.  He's only shot over 40% in 6 games.  I'd like to see him attack the basket a bit more, instead of always settling for jumpers.  He could probably be more efficient, and increase his PPG, if he did go to the basket a bit more.

Yeah, I'm glad he's helping in the scoring department.  But I think he could be capable of adding more, if he'd stop settling and go to the basket a bit more.

MJ - I didn't realize you were back posting here since December. Good to see some posts... I agree about Phil's efficiency. If he works more on that area, he could be even more effective. That double threat will help even more at the end of games.

Absolutely, does not shoot well when driving, fading, moving laterally.....needs to be set, at which times his % is excellent.  The way to improve his % is shot selection, stay away from those types of shots when possible, don't look for them.

Now hold on one cotton picking minute!  You asked a simple question; ' Who can consistently ( bold - underlined ) give us 12 points after Harrison?'  I simply provided the correct answer.  As rhombus has done just that in 4 out of the last 5 and in every single BE game.

You than took that as a cue to write a Phil Greene bashing soliloquy.  Your choice...but odd.  If you would have asked a different question I would have given you a different correct answer.

P.S.  1)  Mean Joe is at present shooting a higher percentage from the field than 3'lo EVER HAS IN A COMPLETE SEASON!
        2) Triangle never misses a practice, game, class, test, meeting, bus - plays injured, is a great team mate, hustles his a$$ off and never departs mid-season for Chicago.
        3) SYRACUSE!!!

PG4 also played his heart out for all of his 37 minutes in the Nova game. He and Pointer are awesome 4 year ROLE players any coach would love to have on their team. Unfortunately for us, they start, have to play 35+ minutes, and are expected to contribute double-digit points each and every night for us to have chance of winning. Phil Greene IV would be the 4th best SG on Nova and be looking to transfer right now.

Pointer can't shoot.  Other than that, he is a good player.  I think his "lack of handle" is greatly exaggerated.  Obviously, he isn't Isaiah Thomas, but...

I think his biggest improvement this year is that he has had the ball in his hands less.  he is still taking shots but is deferring a lot more to branch and jordan to run the offense.  i think telling greene to go to the basket translates to him dribbling in a circle 25 feet from the basket then faking a drive to the hoop before jacking up a two with his foot on the three point line and 25 seconds on the shot clock.  he still did this once on tuesday, but has cut down on it (he still takes frustratingly long twos, but generally branch/jordan have a chance to run a little offense first).

He should consider another line of work.

I think Carmine and I are technically Eskimo brothers.

Harrison? I knew the kid had game, but I didn't know he had top 3 all time SJU game.
