I think DC's playing time should remain very limited. He should only be used to match up if a big is too physical for our starters, or to give them a quick breather, or in the case of foul trouble and to strategically save Tyler/TT from picking up an extra foul at the end of a half like in the Miami game. He may have had success against Pitt last year but with a new coach and seemingly faster style of play it remains to be seen if he can keep up.

We are so much slower on both ends with DC so we can't afford to play him more than a few minutes at a time. Whatever we gain in defensive rebounding (and even that may be negligible with the way the Tylers/AW got after it against Miami) we lose in rim protection, blocks, steals, deflections, rotations, running the floor, defending the high post, etc.

Furthermore, I believe we have to keep the Tylers on the floor as much as possible and this means Lydon is going to play a ton of five. So it'll end up being situational for DC. Hopefully, he can kick it up a notch in limited minutes.
