Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3455557, member: 1001"] On the flip side, he hasn't been good in Ivy League play. In conference play this year he's averaging: [B]9.8 / 8.4 / 4.1 on .386 / .297 / .920 splits[/B] He hasn't been good outside of his triple-double against Cornell. I'm not saying I don't want him, because we need the depth after Akok's injury, but he's had an up and down season and I wouldn't be all that excited if he came here next year. I went to the Yale/Harvard game a couple of weeks back and was thoroughly unimpressed, to the point where I asked my buddy if Bruner was battling an injury. Maybe he is and it hasn't been made public. The Aktinson kid was much, much better. Bruner had 3 points in 34 minutes on 1-8 FG. His athleticism didn't stand out at the Ivy League level. He played extremely soft, especially down the stretch. Atkinson dominated the same Harvard frontcourt that Bruner couldn't get going against. Their last game vs Columbia he had 2 points in 27 minutes on 0-5. He had 2 points in 31 minutes against Brown in late January. He floats around a lot. Maybe Hurley can light a fire in him if he does come here. I'm going tonight vs Penn. Hopefully he has a better game. It's been a small sample size but from what I've seen I don't know if this kid would get more than 15 MPG as a backup to Whaley and Carlton next year. Sure, we need depth with Akok's injury so I'll take him but I would keep my expectations in check. I certainly wouldn't call him a "fantastic" player. [/QUOTE]
