BLIKNS Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 According to the media guide the assists record(career)since69-70,belongs to Charles Newberry with 424.Josh Fisher has 298,so he needs 127 to break the record.Can he do it?Last year he has 111.I think he can do it,I expect Josh to play alot of minutes.

billiken_roy Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 i agree. the best set of scorers, and him being a senior with full control of the point guard position, leads me to believe fisher will have a huge season. the assists needed to break that record will come before the end of february imo.

mcglotherirvin Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 wasn't newberry a juco transfer? if so, that's a lot of assists in only two years. i always liked the way he played the point - one of my all time favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Charlie Newberry was not a juco transfer. I believe he he played for SLU for three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlee Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Actually, Charles Newbury was a JC transfer from then BAC, now SWIC. I believe he transferred after his freshman year and played 3 years for the Bills. Maybe someone else can keep me honest on this one.

big al Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Yes, Newberry played 3 years for the Bills...He played 1 year at Belleville Area College...He was a fine player, seldom making turnovers...He could also hit the three...He was one of our better all-time point guards...BAC is now called Southwestern Illinois...I believe he was from Chicago Land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nostatic Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Fish could easily break that record for 3 reasons. First, there were very few assists last year on baskets made by MP, because his baskets came off the dribble. Second, DD had a poor year because he couldn't get shots off quick enough. Thirdly, Frericks should be able to finish more shots than KB. And if the perimeter shooting is much better this year than last (as people are suggesting), then his penetration should lead to open shots by players who can hit them.

Major Majerus Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Newberry had some NIT runs - Josh might not catch him for the same reason Claggs isn't the all time lead scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Majerus Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I'm pretty sure he had 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 The Bills are guaranteed 28 games this season. In order to claim the all-time career assist total record, Josh Fisher will have to average 4.54 assists per game. That's no small feat. If the Bills play six postseason games (making it 33), Fish would have to average 3.85 assists per game to claim the record. Another way of looking at it is to figure how many games it would take if he averaged 4.0 assists (a good point guard should average no less than four assists per game). At four per game, Fish needs 32 games. I've projected the Bills to play 30 games, though I'd really love to see them play more, and Josh would have to average 4.24 per game to claim the record. It's definitely attainable. Guys need to finish or knock down open jumpers. I'd like to see Fish get at least 150 assists (5.0 per game) this season. If that happens, it means the offense is flowing and the team is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
