That quote is interesting.  Lydon hopefully will be that guy.  Aside from the guards performing subpar at best I think the lack of speed generally except from Gillon at times is a BIG problem that I'm not sure anything can be done about it.  We have big trouble against better teams with athletes comparable to SU's.  Howard, Battle (hoping it is the foot), White, etc. all look pedestrian against decent teams.  We have some tall guys for their position like Howard but his lack of speed and indecisiveness is a deadly combo.  There has been ONLY a couple of times a game now at best where Howard and others are driving past their guys and they are either not finishing or turning it over.  I worry about White if not early in the offense on a chuck being to get his shot off as the season progresses.  Teams are going to stick a guy on him and it will be over since he can't put it on the floor.  I was even watching Clemson the other day against somebody decent.  Their M2M is very good as we know.  Lydon and TT will be fine but PG/SG/SF is just not good enough athletically against the big boys and we aren't going to outscheme a team like the way Creighton or somebody else would.  I just hope we see more zone D against us but that is highly unlikely in the ACC.
