Need to get him more shots and he needs that "edge".
He is definitely a pro and will get paid to play basketball professionally.
No, determined that off the last month or two. Eye test speaks a lot.
He'll be a better pro than he was a college player. He'll play in the NBA for many years. That's what drives me nuts about this year. Oh well.Nice college game player. Not a pro. Sometimes you need to face reality.
I think he played well today. He was the only one rebounding and playing good defense. The PGs in the NBA are much better than Gillon, and Lydon will have a lot more looks either next year at Cuse or in the NBA
There is something going on with this team - Gillon will not pass the ball to Lydon and Lydon won't shoot the ball even when he does get it. I would love to see Lydon with a shot of Devo mixed in. Alas that is not his make up.
That said if he gets guaranteed cash he should go - no way I come back to play in our offense for another year. No thanks.
He cannot have five points as one of the scoring threats on this team. Shoot the damn ball.
yea, i noticed the same thing today in-person. Lydon was frustrated repeatedly with Gillon's decisions on offense -- he kept shaking off plays, wanting to go ISO and you could see Lydon throw his hands up, being like what? His numbers have come down since Gillon's been FT point guard. Not that we haven't been winning but I don't understand how he plays so far away from the ball and rarely gets it too. Very frustrating.
I thought so too but not when the description that best describes your game is "timid" (to put it mildly)He'll be a better pro than he was a college player. He'll play in the NBA for many years. That's what drives me nuts about this year. Oh well.
He gets the ball and pump fakes and passes. He got the ball all game and passed up looks. Does Syracuse need a better interior passing PG yes but to say he needs the ball more is crazy. Ppl were screaming from the bench when he passed up shots.We'll see what happens. I hope we get a few more games (minimum) to see him play.
It would also be nice if he got the ball more.
- All this "potential" talk...hes Ryan Anderson best case scenario, nothing wrong with that but potential is more of freak athletic ability that hopefully can be harnessed into productive bball attributes... closer to Pittsnogle than a lotto pick imo

You have it reversed. He'll be fine in the NBA as a second unit stretch four. What he isn't, is a first choice on offense on our team.
We'll see. I wouldn't draft him.
He was overmatched today by better athletes.
First, he's more Channing Frye than Ryan Anderson. And he's not a total dimwit like Pittsnoggle who never gave a hoot about basketball.
Second, Ryan Anderson has an $80 million dollar contract right now.
Frye? Ehh...Fryes legit 7ft and when first came in with Knicks had a very good low post game and took games over consistently at Zona. Like I said Andersons best case and he is uber aggressive getting shots up so well see. Never said anythings wrong with that but lets stop saying Lydon has crazy potential.
You aren't a playoff team that needs to shore up it's ability to stretch the floor with a catch and shoot four on your second unit. That's where he's going to get drafted. That's why he'll get drafted.
Maybe he comes back, maybe he doesn't. But anyone at that size that can shoot threes will get a look.
