David Harrison - Message Board Basketball Forum

Hey guys, tough season thus far.. but I'm not here to comment on that. I'm a Colorado Buffaloes fan, as you may know, we don't put too many prospects in the NBA, as of today we have Chauncey Billups and.. David Harrison. I have seen that Harrison got in a little bit of trouble with the drug program amongst other things.. Is his Pacers days limited? It really does appear that he is going through his same cycle he did at CU. He came in as a top recruit but lacked work ethic and was constantly out of shape, he changed right before his last season, but it looks like he fell back in the trap. Is Bird and co. tired of his antics?

Yeah, this guy is out. I like how he's been playing in the last 8 games or so, but he's now got too much of a bad rep regarding his work ethic, let alone his temper and of the court problems. He'll be let go and we'll sign (or receive in a trade) another young C/PF.

Harrison needs to keep his cool. He gets into way too much foul trouble, then that frustrates him, and eventually gets a T. The drug issue was just icing on the cake. Hes on his way out of Indy

this is true. i still think this guy could become a decent center but he's got some issues and i'm sure the pacers organization is tired out them. he's been playing good lately though.

DH needs some anger management. I'm almost expecting to see him chanting "GOOS FRA BAH" the next time I see see him in the post. I'd laugh, but I wouldn't blame him, anything would help. Kid's got the tools, just not the mindset. A big man coach could help him a lot. He's quick, athletic, and willing, just doesn't really seem to understand how to play basketball. His contract's up after the season and he'll be signed for too much money by someone else. I honestly wish him luck wherever it is.
