Definitely!

Do we all forget how limited we were last season scoring in the paint.  If we didn't hit threes, the only offense we had was a Robey offensive board and put back.  This team has a chance to be much more balanced offensively.  Other than Frank, who will be back and a major contributor, who actually attacked the paint from the backcourt?  Now, we will have three guards who are all capable of doing that.  That will collapse the defense to give our limited number of shooters, a bit more space.  Lydon, who will be a focal point in the offense, will and can score from inside and outside, and will be asked to do so quite a bit.  Totally fine with me, as he is only going to get better, and wished he was even more aggressive at times last year.  Which leads to why he couldn't.  We now have some big man depth to allow him to be a bit more aggressive on offense and he won't be anchoring the zone which will keep him away from more fouls on the defensive end.

Are there a lot of question marks, of course, but I think we could be looking at a much more balanced and consistent team next season.  Maybe not ever going to the hot streaks of draining threes, like we did a couple times this season, but we also won't strictly be limited to long jump shots.

Oh...and someone needs to stop DC2 from bringing the ball down low every time he touches it!!!!  That darn power dribble, or whatever you call it makes me so angry!!!!!  Really prevents us from running plays down low to him, because I think he is capable of having a great low post game, and has a much better mid range (8-12ft) jumper than he is given credit for.
