Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2051757, member: 780"] In his FSU post-game presser JB called Lydon “One of the best defensive players we have ever had”. This to me is headline news and not that Gillon has finally figured out how to get into the lane and what to do with the ball when he does. He went on to say that Lydon was better defensively than many of the great centers we have had at SU He said he was 6’10” and that he had “good timing”, good positioning” and “a good feel for the game”. Boeheim, who doesn’t dole out such extreme praise that often, also said the on offense Lydon was a huge factor. He said, “No one will give him any shots”. When he plays “high” they have to guard him and this is what opens up the lane for the guards. For those trying to understand what makes this year’s team tick, this is indispensable knowledge from the most (possibly only) credible source. It's amazing how many on here ignore or don't even listen to what JB says. [/QUOTE]
