I think he was referring to Harris playing at the 3.
Christian Watford among college guys at Kevin Durant Skills Academy | The Hoosier Scoop
Nike released the rosters for the Kevin Durant Skills Academy, going on right now in Chicago, and Gary Harris was among the high school guys on the team. But so was Christian Watford. The Indiana junior was among 18 wings invited to be a part of the three-day camp, which leads into the LeBron James Skills Academy next month in Akron, Ohio.

"The worst thing I ever did was jam a finger," Byrd said of his basketball career before East Lansing. "When I got up here I was 215 (pounds), 4-percent body fat. I was in incredible shape. After the first surgery, all I did was workout, workout, workout. But after the second and third surgeries, it takes it's toll and a year-and-half off isn't a good thing.
"(Coach Tom Izzo) doesn't trust my body. I've got to be realistic, I don't trust my body very much, either."
Byrd laughed as he said so, but it was a laugh soaked in frustration.
The pain behind Byrd's wit these days is familiar to his father, Kelly, a longtime pastor in Fort Wayne, Ind.
"The sense that we get when we're with him and when we talk to him, I would say it's a real mix of deep disappointment and frustration and confusion,"

Go back and look at the shots he's hit this season. Catch Shoot. You can see the moment in his mind where he thinks.
I wonder if we couldnt run him off some screens and tell him that if he doesn't shoot the ball, he is benched. Your thought process is "Catch, Shoot, GO!"
At this point, I feel like he can still give us "Mike Chappelle minutes". Chappelle struggled with his shot for a while, but came up HUGE in the national championship game.
I haven't given up on Byrd, but I think he needs to have a conversation with someone who has been through what he is going through. Coaches, players, there is really nobody around who can appreciate it... Perhaps if Chappelle is playing in the alumni game, he can have a heart to heart with Byrd. Would be another case of Alumni giving back.

As a fellow shooter of blanks, the worse thing that can happen is you. When you're thinking your not hitting. Honestly, what helps the most is being tired. Magically the shots go right it since its all no thought and muscle memory. Have byrd be a 1 man press and then have him jack a shot. Dudes stroke is pure if he gets his legs set.
