Totally agree that this is the biggest question right now. I on defense, Lydon at the 3 or 4 is ideal. The problem is on offense. He's not really as effective as he could be playing the 3, and Roberson has a lock-down on minutes at the 4, so that leaves the 5, which is probably not ideal because now we have 2 good centers riding the bench unused.

I think that one of the main determining factors for whether we become a truly great team is going to be whether Lydon can learn to play the 3 effectively. He'll obviously play it differently than Malachi did last year, but if he can do enough to punish teams that put a 6'3 guy on him, and give us some scoring punch, it will really unlock this team defensively.

I think the other question is whether Andrew White figures it out on D enough to allow us to be really good. Currently, he's clearly pretty lost, although I've already seen good progress since the first exhibition. I think he will, but if he gives back as many points as he scores, it's gonna be hard for us to be really good.
