Those who say that Lydon needs to bulk up are right, but at the same time, Lydon plays stronger than many a player who probably could bench more. Roberson, Obokoh, and CMac come to mind. As far as the NBA is concerned, sure, they'd like to see more bulk, but lack of bulk = potential. I imagine that the NBA is going to be more concerned about his height, but if he's a legit 6'9-6'10, he's got great high to play the 4 in the league. . I don't think he's a 3 in today's NBA--I can see him guarding Lamarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love a lot sooner than Gordon Hayward or Jimmy Butler. He doesn't have great athleticism, but it's good enough, and it's the other things that make him special--his shooting, toughness, awareness, and versatility. If he keeps playing the way he has been, he probably a mid-to-late first round pick. Players like that have returned to school before, however, and that would be great.

The other thing I'll say is that he benefits by playing against defenses that are clearly focused on the 3 guards. I could see him struggling if he had to be a #1 option (like Rak last year).
