Bryon Allen: Career Scoring

[Pablo]

With a career-high and game-high 30 points (12-17 FG's, 2-2 3-pt. FG's, & 4-5 FT's) in 43 minutes vs. #19 St. Louis, Bryon Allen passed Hal Woodside (869 pts.) for 40th place in career scoring. Bryon has 886 career pts. and needs 114 more to become the 33rd Mason men's basketball player with 1,000 career points.

It's time to stop celebrating individual accomplishments. We lost and remain winless in the A10. Bryon played very well today but the team lost, that is all that matters.

You sir are a douche bag....I can't think of anyone who plays any harder than BA. In a year where we've had all kinds of bad things happen to come on here and shit all over a kid who brings it like BA does is uncalled for. There a several other threads here for you to voice your displeasure. I know on senior night BA will get a standing "O" from me.

Agreed - what we need is every player to play like BA. Despite the typical philosophical crap fed in schools regarding economics and "justice" - you don't improve the team by pulling down the players who put in 150% effort. You hold them up and use them as an example.

Some player comparisons

Bryon Allen - 15 ppg, 3.1 apg, 45% fg, 85% ft, 38% 3p
Nate Langley - 20.9 ppg, 2.4 apg, 43% fg, 67% ft, 30% 3p
Mark Davis* - 15.5 ppg, 1.3 apg, 44% fg, 61% ft, 33% 3p
Lamar Butler* - 15.7 ppg, 2.4 apg, 46% fg, 74% ft, 43% 3p
Tony Skinn* - 14.4 ppg, 2.2 apg, 41% fg, 76 ft%, 34% 3p
Folarin Campbell - 15.6 ppg, 3.1 apg, 46% fg, 73% ft, 36% 3p
John Vaughan* - 12.3 ppg, 2.1 apg, 43% fg, 74% ft, 34% 3p
Cam Long - 15.1 ppg, 2.9 apg, 48% fg, 75%, ft, 43% 3p

Not meant to be definitive and doesn't take into account defensive stats, sharing ball w/other scorers on team, competition etc. From a overview perspective though, I think it justifies putting Bryon Allen in the discussion w/the best shooting guards of the Coach L era.

* Jr. year where ppg was higher then Sr. year

Bryon can hold his head high. He played out of position a lot during his career. When he is put in a position to succeed he does great. It's hard to believe that he has numbers that stack up to guys like Cam Long and others. That says a lot to me.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

and even though it's not Coach L era, there's one more worth throwing in the mix - also Jr. year

Bryon Allen - 15 ppg, 3.1 apg, 45% fg, 85% ft, 38% 3p
Nate Langley - 20.9 ppg, 2.4 apg, 43% fg, 67% ft, 30% 3p
Mark Davis* - 15.5 ppg, 1.3 apg, 44% fg, 61% ft, 33% 3p
Lamar Butler* - 15.7 ppg, 2.4 apg, 46% fg, 74% ft, 43% 3p
Tony Skinn* - 14.4 ppg, 2.2 apg, 41% fg, 76 ft%, 34% 3p
Folarin Campbell - 15.6 ppg, 3.1 apg, 46% fg, 73% ft, 36% 3p
John Vaughan* - 12.3 ppg, 2.1 apg, 43% fg, 74% ft, 34% 3p
Cam Long - 15.1 ppg, 2.9 apg, 48% fg, 75%, ft, 43% 3p
Sherrod Wright* - 16.6 ppg, 1.5 apg, 47% fg, 78% ft, 35% 3p

Regardless of team results, I don't know how anyone would not be impressed with Bryon's improvement in shooting during his career and his dedication and commitment to team success (while playing much of his career at PG rather than his natural SG position):

Points per game:
2010-11: 1.4 ppg
2011-12: 7.5
2012-13: 8.3
2013-14: 15.0

3-pt. FG%:
2010-11: 15.4%
2011-12: 16.7
2012-13: 33.3
2013-14: 38.1

FT%:
2010-11: 69.2%
2011-12: 73.7
2012-13: 75.0
2013-14: 84.7

Eh... I'm as negative as the next guy, but let's keep it in the threads about individual games, the coaches, etc. Allen is doing the best he can AND is a team player. No need to diminish his accomplishments because his coaching sucks and the team around him is deficient.

Incredible improvement. Really speaks to how hard he has worked over the past 4 seasons. Not many Mason players can lay claim to 30-point offensive eruptions. Impressively, against a top-25 team with one of the better defenses in the nation, no less.

I am not bashing Bryon. If you read my post it states that he "played very well today." I didn't dimish his progress or contributions. My point is that it's a team game. That's all I'm saying. You will note that I can respond without resorting to junior high insults, many here can't.

So, we can't celebrate individual career accomplishments along the way?

 

[JBiggs]

Anyone know if Marko is injured? I haven't had much time to read the boards lately.

Aside from the URI game, he has been limited to 10 minutes or less since after the game against vcu. And he has only played 20+ minutes 3 times in the past 12 games.

I believe it was mentioned a few weeks ago that he's nursing an injury, but I'm not sure what that injury is. In the minutes that he has played, he's contributed next to nothing. We need him healthy for next season so he can put up numbers similar to what he put up in the first few weeks of games.

I didn't think you were bashing Bryon. What I meant by diminishing his contributions was that to not talk about it because of your frustration with the team is unfair to him. Diminish was the wrong word; probably ignore was better. I disagree with your point that individual achievements need not be celebrated.

I'm glad you agree with me on the civility thing. I enjoy the back and forth without the insults, and the ability to clarify points and even admit that things may have been worded wrong.

The injury occurred during the Penn home game on January 2nd when a Penn player landed on his back, grabbed him around the neck, and was called for a flagrant foul. Marko has not played a full game since then.

Bryon has had a good career at Mason and has played very well this year. He is one of the few players that can create a match-up problem due to his strength, speed and ability to get to the rim and finish. He also seems to be a team player leading the squad in assists while playing off the point more this season. I too will be giving him a standing O on Senior Night (as I will all the seniors who have worked hard for 4-5 years on behalf of the school and team) but expect that he will get the loudest ovation.

 

[gmutom]

Bryon Allen is featured in Dick Patrick's column this week. It's interesting to read how the staff worked with him on his shooting form, and it gives me promise that they are doing the same with Marquise Moore.
