Bryon Allen: Career Scoring

[Quentin Daniels]

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 is now up to 15.8 ppg which would put him at a higher scoring clip then any shooting guard during the Coach L era other then Nate Langley. His 40% from behind the arc is also ahead of all our top guards from that era with the exception of Lamar Butler and Cam Long.

Yes, it's a exceptionally disappointing season, but let's not overlook the effort and contribution of a guy whose been giving it his all for the Green & Gold for 4 years.

Not sure Nate ever played for Coach L.

He didn't. He played his final season under Westhead and in order to be eligible to play for Coach L he would have needed to complete something like 12 credits over the summer. Wasn't going to happen.

Shame. Nate would have been awesome with Coach L and that defense.

I stand corrected - he last played the 96-97 season and L took over in 97-98.

So I guess my original point above then changes to BA now on a higher scoring clip then any shooting guard during the L era.

True enough.

Of course Wright and Allen have zero help in the post. Can't think of a time under L when the team didn't have at least one legit low post threat.

This guy has played hard. Really hard. He can hold his head high knowing he didn't leave anything out there on the court.

I don't know if this was posted elsewhere, but BA's steal and buzzer-beater at the end of the first half last night was the #8 top play on SportsCenter

Thanks, I posted about this in the St. Louis thread but couldn't find the video.

Thanks for posting the video...I was in the men's room when I heard the crowd roar! That's what I get for trying to take care of business and still get to the Gold Room on time...

And No. 2 was Trevor Ariza's 3/4 court shot against Atlanta to end the third period!

Any word on BA and his injury at the end of the last game?

 

[Pablo]

With 18 points (and 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers, & a steal) in the 69-60 victory over Richmond, Bryon Allen passed Jon Larranaga (980 pts.) and is now 34th in career scoring at Mason with 990 points. Bryon needs just 10 points to become the 33rd Mason men's basketball player with 1,000 career points.

With 14 points in the loss at GW today, Bryon Allen passed Levester Berry (994 pts.) & tied Keith Michael for 32nd place in career scoring at Mason with 1,004 points.

Congrats on 1,000 career points at Mason, BA. Even with a practically wasted freshman year.

BFD. We lost on our home court when it matters most.

 

[gmubrian]

Bryon Allen, I have always been a big fan of your play. Thank you for all you have done and the way you have represented Mason. I wish you the best of luck as you move beyond Mason .

 

[99 Patriot]

Will definitely miss BA. With his athleticism, size and speed I've always thought that had he chosen football over basketball he might be playing Sundays as a defensive back somewhere. For our sake, I'm glad he took the path he did. Hope he has a nice career ahead of him.
