This kid averaged 18ppg at Nebraska. Outside of being a good shooter, he isn't a system fit offensively. JB likes to let his guards freestyle and make plays themselves - which works when you have someone like MCW or Ennis or even G. But AW3 is only effective if sets get run specifically for him - that's not the kind of offense we are. We don't run sophisticated offensive sets - JB sets ball screens then relies on his players to make plays. All of the good shooters we've had recently have been able to put the ball on the deck and create for themselves (even Cooney!). Lydon is different because he can score at all 3 levels, but AW3's game isn't a great fit for JB's offense this year. If Frank starts penetrating; if Gillon starts either finishing around the rim or dishing it back out when he gets amongst the trees; and if Lydon plays like he did yesterday - I think AW3 will improve.  He needs to be around a set of players that can create for him and themselves. AW3 would have been perfect on that Ennis/Cooney/Fair team.
