First of all, Lehigh and St. Bonaventure are better than you give them credit for.  They are a better than a number P5 teams we play this year, according to kenpom.
 
I agree Lydon is playing out of position, but he's our best option.  Nobody is disputing that.  He had an and one too you didn't mention that was a big play, plus I think he's our best FT shooter.  He also had a couple of blocks and steals out of the middle that negated the rebounding disadvantage.  I mean when is Syracuse ever a good rebounding team?  Even when Fab was here we gave up offensive board after offensive board.  I think we could possibly have a huge offensive advantage with him at the 5.
 
Mal makes some questionable plays, but you can see the talent there.  He's an elite shooter.
 
If you watch the NBA, watch Golden State play small ball.  They get crushed on the boards with Draymond Green at the 5, which i guess would be similar to Lydon at the 5 in College. 
 
You have to negate that with forcing turnovers.
