We have talented guys.  It's guard play and defense like we've been saying all year - things we are traditionally very good/excellent at have been huge struggles.

And I'm not sure Lydon leaves after this year.  He still needs more strength to develop into an NBA rotation player, he gets pushed around a bit on the interior.  I'd love to know what scouts actually think about him right now and not just ESPN/Draft Express. I'd have to guess late first round.  Will that be good enough for him or is he willing to wait for more guaranteed money?  He could definitely shoot up into the lottery with a monster junior year.  Considering he didn't even give the draft a thought last spring with his draft prospects similar to what they are right now, I think he's back.

I'd be shocked if Battle leaves.  He's gotten noticeably better and more confident throughout the season.  Great explosiveness and his stroke is better than expected.  But he's had like 3 legitimately very good games and has been a solid contributor the rest of the time - who's he passing to jump into the first round?
